Nigerian Government gets Insurance Cover for Civil Servants

The Nigerian Government has procured insurance coverage for its employees from 9th February 2023 to 8th February 2024, says Folasade Yemi-Esan, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

She stated this on Saturday at the ‘2023 Federal Civil Service Awards Ceremony,’ in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

According to Yemi-Esan, the Federal Government has also cleared the backlog of death benefits of about 1,500 deceased officers to their beneficiaries, from 2021 to date.

“In the area of salaries and allowances, as you are aware the Presidential Committee on Salary Harmonization is working to review salaries to reduce the disparity.

“Again, let me also inform you that 40% of basic salary was approved by FEC as Peculiar Allowance, with effect from January 2023; together with the Upward Review of Staff Duty Tour Allowance
(DTA),” she said.
