OHCSF Denies Approving Allowance, Clarifies Role in Labour Engagement
The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) has clarified that it neither approved nor formally communicated the approval of the recently discussed allowance to the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) or any labour union.
In a statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Eno Olotu, the Office explained that the statutory responsibility for issuing and communicating such circulars lies solely with the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC).
According to the statement, the circular being referenced was officially issued by the NSIWC on April 23, 2026.
The OHCSF further clarified that the meeting convened by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, was strictly interventionist and conciliatory in nature.
It explained that the engagement was organised to facilitate dialogue between organised labour under its jurisdiction and the NSIWC in order to promote mutual understanding and prevent any breakdown in labour relations within the Federal Civil Service.
The Office reiterated its commitment to maintaining peaceful labour relations and sustaining collaborative engagement with all stakeholders toward strengthening industrial harmony across the Federal Civil Service.
