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.”
