He assured that workers will begin to get alert of their new minimum wage salary payment starting from Thursday.<\/p>\n

However, Mokwa did not state if the minimum wage would be paid alongside its arrears.<\/p>\n

He told our correspondent, \u201cFederal Government civil servants will start getting the new minimum wage from today(Thursday) this September 2024. What I can tell you is that the minimum wage salary payment is today I am not sure of the arrears\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

His comment comes after the Chairman of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, Ekpo Nta, on Tuesday confirmed that the government has approved the upward review of consolidated public service salary structure, CONPSS in line with the minimum wage(Amendment) Act, 2024.<\/p>\n

This followed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s approval of N70,000 new Minimum wage on July 18, 2024.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, the Senate passed the new minimum wage bill into law.<\/p>\n
