The statement said the Head of Service was to outline the criteria to guide the committee members on areas of concentration for an acceptable and affordable wage for the workers.

The Federal Government had reached an agreement with labour on the consequential increase on its workers’ salaries effective from Oct. 18.

The Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council consequently directed labour leaders in states to negotiate with their respective state governments.
