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