May 01, (THEWILL) – The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) urged the federal government to increase the retirement age for all civil servants to 65 years or 40 years of service.
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, made the appeal during the May Day celebration at Eagle Square in Abuja on Thursday.
Presenting the union’s key demands, Ajaero noted that equal treatment across all categories of civil servants would promote fairness, boost morale, and enhance efficiency in the public sector.
“It is imperative to extend the revised retirement age of 65 years or 40 years of service currently enjoyed by teachers, health professionals, and judges to all public servants”, Ajaero said.
