According to the workers, the Federal Government has allegedly fulfilled only one month of the initially pledged six-month relief, leaving employees grappling with the challenges of the ongoing economic crisis since the subsidy removal. In a statement released on Thursday, National Coordinator of FWF, Comrade Andrew Emelieze, highlighted the severe difficulties faced by workers amidst the escalating cost of living, stagnant minimum wage at N30,000, and soaring commodity prices, such as rice reaching over N60,000 per bag.
Emelieze expressed disappointment, stating, “Federal Government workers nationwide have been going through tortuous moments since the removal of petroleum subsidy. Our take-home pay has been made meaningless as a result of the rising cost of living crisis and the constant devaluation of our naira.” He continued to emphasize the discrepancy between the promised relief and the actual implementation, asserting that the federal workers feel betrayed and unfairly treated by their employer.
The coordinator lamented the financial strain on civil servants, citing delayed salaries, blocked salary disbursements for some workers, and unpaid promotion arrears. In the midst of these challenges, he emphasized the urgency for fair wages, asserting that federal workers deserve equitable compensation. The statement concluded with a poignant reflection on the unfortunate timing of these issues coinciding with delayed salaries and other financial hardships faced by civil servants.
