The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says the Federal Government has approved a pay raise for civil servants in the country.

Ngige, who was a guest on Channels Television’s programme, said the pay raise is a peculiar allowance for civil servants in view of the current economic reality.

He explained that the money will help the government workers navigate through inflation, rising cost of living, hike in transportation fair, housing and electricity tariffs.
