The federal government says formulation of an innovative wage system that will now be based on employee’s productivity in the civil service is underway.
It specifically said that with the system, workers on the same level could earn different salaries, adding that the decision was being taken because it realised that productivity is a key factor in the growth of the country’s economy.
The Director-General of the National Productivity Centre (NPC), Dr. Nasir Raji-Mustapha, disclosed this at the headquarters of the centre in Abuja while enlightening Nigerians on what the agency stands for and its mandate.
“We are in the process of developing a productivity-led wage system that will ensure that those who are productive are rewarded for their efforts irrespective of their grade level. Under the proposed system, employees on the same salary scale can earn different wages,” he said.

When asked whether the new proposal on a productivity-led wage system is having the support and input of organised labour, the NPC boss stressed that such a task couldn’t be carried out without the input of the organised labour.
He also disclosed that the Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima would be the keynote speaker at the two-day National Productivity Summit organised by the centre and holding the nation’s capital.
