Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief  Ufot Ekaette who disclosed this yesterday at the inauguration of the Relativity Panel on Wages, Salaries and emolument, regretted that in the public service, the gap between the remuneration of workers in some agencies and civil service has been growing over time. “The Federal Government has considered it desirable and appropriate to ensure that wide disparities in wages, salaries and allowances are minimized between the public and private sectors within each sub-sector. In that way, labour mobility within the economy would be assured, thus enabling agencies using the same kind of skills to remain competitive in attracting personnel with skills. “Government had taken a number of steps in the past to ensure a measure of comparability in the wages, salaries and emolument payable to workers in the various sectors of the economy. Such pay comparability was expected to ensure that compensation for work of sustainability equal value in each sub-sector would be relatively close. However this has not been the case”, he stated. He said that  it should be noted  that in the same economy, the gap between the remuneration of workers in the public and private sectors or between the sub-sectors ought not be as wide as has been observed in the country today.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
