The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has approved a N70,000 minimum wage for FCTA employees, effective November 2024. This move includes payment of three months' arrears and aims to alleviate financial struggles while boosting staff morale and support for Wike’s leadership and President Tinubu’s "Renewed Hope Agenda."
This wage hike is part of Wike’s ongoing effort to address the financial challenges faced by FCTA workers. Grace Adayilo, the Acting Head of the Civil Service of FCT, confirmed the new policy on Monday, emphasizing the minister's commitment to improving the living conditions of staff.
Adayilo added that this decision aligns with Wike’s broader mission to enhance the productivity of the administration’s workforce, which in turn supports the goals of the "Renewed Hope Agenda" under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The wage increase is expected to foster greater enthusiasm among staff, motivating them to contribute more effectively to the success of governance in the capital.
