The government has approved a 10% wage increase for public sector workers following successful negotiations between the Labour Union and President John Dramani Mahama.
This marks the second wage adjustment in under a year, following a 23% salary hike in 2024 aimed at cushioning workers against rising living costs.
President Mahama actively engaged with union representatives to secure their support for the latest increase, reaffirming the government’s commitment to easing financial burdens amid economic challenges.
Minister of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, Rashid Pelpuo, announced that the increment will take effect on March 1, 2025.
The wage hike is expected to provide much-needed relief to thousands of public sector employees.
