By the end of this month (April), the Federal Government will start paying the anticipated wage raise for government personnel.
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, ret., is anticipated to approve the payout in the very near future.
If the idea is approved, the hike will occur around two months prior to the June withdrawal deadline for the gasoline subsidy.
Government representatives privately revealed that the new pay hike, called a consequential allowance, would result in a 40% increase in the current pay of public employees.
