FG APPROVES REVISION OF CONSOLIDATED SALARY STRUCTURE

The Federal Government has approved the revision of the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure, CONPSS, with effect from July 24.

The Chairman, National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, NSIWC, Ekpo Nta, said this during a press briefing on Tuesday in Abuja.

Mr Nta said that President Bola Tinubu assented to the Act after the Bill was forwarded to him by the National Assembly.

He said that any federal public service, whether self funded or treasury funded that had not received a circular to this effect, specifically from the NSIWC, should contact it for further directives.

Mr Nta said: “This is to avoid an un-coordinated implementation which has the tendency to destroy the existing salary relativities in the federal public service.”

He said that NSIWC would issue further directives on how pensioners, NYSC members and interns would benefit from the implementation.

The chairman listed other revised templates to include: Consolidated Research and Allied Institutions Salary Structure (CONRAISS), Consolidated Universities Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS) and Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure II ( CONTISS II).

He said others were: The Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONPCASS), Consolidated Tertiary Educational Institutions Salary Structure (CONTEDISS) and Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS).

Mr Nta named others to include: Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), Consolidated Para-Military Salary Structure, CONPASS, and Consolidated Police Salary Structure (CONPOSS).

The rest were: Consolidated Intelligence Community Salary Structure (CONICSS) and Consolidated Armed Forces Salary Structure (CONAFSS).

“This is consequent to the enactment of the NSIWC Amendment Act 2024 and the Memorandum of Understanding reached by the committee on consequential adjustments in salaries arising from the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act, 2024.

” Between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Trade Union sides of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council Sept. 20,” Mr Nta said.

    EX-REPS MEMBER, FAROUK LAWAN, JAILED OVER $500,000 BRIBE, REGAINS FREEDOM

    EX-REPS MEMBER, FAROUK LAWAN, JAILED OVER $500,000 BRIBE, REGAINS FREEDOM A former member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Lawan, has regained freedom. This followed the completion of his five-year jail term in Kuje Prison. In January, the Supreme Court had affirmed the five-year jail term handed to Lawan by the Court of Appeal. Lawan was convicted and sentenced to prison in 2021 for accepting a $500,000 bribe from businessman Femi Otedola, Chairman, Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd. In a unanimous judgment, a five-member panel affirmed the 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeal which upheld Lawan’s sentencing to five years in respect of only count three on the three-count charge on which he was tried at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In the lead judgment prepared by Justice John Okoro but read by Justice Tijjani Abubakar, the apex court found that Lawan’s appeal was without merit and proceeded to dismiss it. However, a video on Tuesday showed Lawan’s release from Kuje prison. He was convicted for receiving a bribe of $500,000 from a businessman, Femi Otedola.

    MAN DIES DURING FORTIFICATION RITUAL AT NATIVE DOCTOR’S SHRINE IN ENUGU COMMUNITY A Young Man Identified As Chikwado Eze, from Ugbaike in Enugu Ezike, Enugu State, has reportedly lost his life during a controversial fortification ritual at a native doctor’s shrine. The tragic incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the dangers of extreme traditional practices. According To Eyewitnesses, Chikwado had returned to his village to inform his father that his visa had expired. Seeking to ensure his son’s success abroad, Chikwado’s father suggested consulting a native doctor for spiritual fortification. The Native Doctor, Identified As Onuwa, instructed that Chikwado be buried alive for one hour and thirty minutes to undergo the fortification ritual. Tragically, when Chikwado was exhumed, he was found dead. Enugu State Police Command has arrested Chikwado’s father, Uwakwe Eze, and the native doctor, Onuwa, in connection with the incident. “The Command is investigating the circumstances surrounding Chikwado’s death and will ensure that justice is served,” said a police spokesperson. Community Reacts: The Ugbaike community is in shock, with many expressing outrage and sadness over the tragic loss of life. “This is a senseless and heartbreaking incident,” said a local resident. “It’s unacceptable that such harmful practices still exist in our society.” The incident highlights the need for education and awareness about the dangers of harmful traditional practices. “We must work together to eradicate such harmful beliefs and ensure that our youth are protected from exploitation,” said a local leader. The Enugu State Government has been urged to take swift action to address the issue and prevent similar incidents in the future.
