The salaries of Federal civil servants for the month of November has
been slashed by the Federal Government following some factors.
Civil servants in ministries, departments and paratatals of government
have decried the huge deductions on their November salaries without any
fore-warning.
This is even as they lamented the increasing prices of goods and
services amidst the crisis of economic recession which has overwhelmed
the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Leadership findings revealed that the National Agency for Food and Drug
Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Public Complain Commission
last month were respectively under lock and key as a result of payment
of half salaries while many others joined in November.
While some were said to record as high as 50% cuts, others could not ascertain how much they had been shortchanged.
Speaking on grounds of anonimity, a staff of Voice of Nigeria (VON)
lamented that they only learnt of the salary cut when an internal memory
dated November 30, 2016 was made available to them on Wednesday.
The memo addressed by the HOF to all staff, titled: ‘Reduction in
November 2016 Salary’ stated that ‘we received the Payroll report for
the Month of November 2016 from IPPIS and observed there is a drastic
reduction in the Net Pay of Voice of Nigeria staff’.
