President Muhammadu Buhari Acknowledges The Need For Upward Review Of Civil Servant Salaries

President Muhammadu Buhari has acknowledged the urgent need for an upward review of salaries of civil servants across the country due to the constant increase in the inflation rate and the depleting power of the naira.

He disclosed this while addressing civil servants who came visiting at the state house today. He also reminded them that the government is also overwhelmed by constraints such as shrinking revenue and crude oil theft, which is a major contributor to the nation’s revenue base.
