employee’s productivity in the civil service is underway.

The Government said, with the system, workers on the same level could earn

different salaries, while, the formulation of an innovative wage system was

being considered because it realized that productivity was a key factor in the

growth of the country’s economy.

the support and input of organised labour, the National Productivity Centre

will remain the input of labour, adding that, the report for the first phase of

the study was ready, and the next stage would be to engage various

stakeholders to consider and make inputs before finally presenting it to the

Federal Government for its consideration and possible adoption.

The NPC boss also said, the Centre was collaborating with several

international agencies and organizations to ensure that the productivity and

skills of Nigerian workers are greatly improved to impact positively on the

economy.
