The Federal Workers Forum has called on President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly to review the salaries of federal civil servants and increase the national minimum wage from ₦70,000 to ₦300,000.

In a letter dated September 2, 2026, the group also proposed a maximum salary of ₦1.5 million for Level 17 officers, arguing that the current wage structure no longer reflects the economic realities facing federal workers.

The forum said its demands were driven by what it described as the incomplete implementation of the ₦70,000 minimum wage approved in 2024.

According to the group, federal workers are yet to receive the full consequential adjustment and related allowances despite the minimum wage being increased from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000.

The forum urged the Federal Government and National Assembly to urgently review the existing salary structure and take measures to improve the welfare and purchasing power of federal civil servants.
