Barring any last-minute change of plans, the Federal Government will begin payment of the planned increase in civil servants’ pay by the end of this month (April). The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, rtd, is expected to give his final assent for disbursement any moment from now. If the proposal sails through, it means the increase will be coming about two months to the June date proposed for the removal of petrol subsidy.
