WAEC Staff Demand Better Pay And Conditions

Staff at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) headquarters in Yaba held a peaceful protest yesterday, calling for a salary increase to address the effects of Nigeria’s current economic challenges.

Speaking under anonymity, one of the demonstrators revealed that employees are asking the council’s administration for a 30% pay increase, but they have only received a 25% offer.

“We decided to protest today to push for our demand. Although we are not covered by the new minimum wage for civil servants in Nigeria, we all face the same economic realities. Is it too much to ask the management to consider our plight?” the employee queried.

In response to the protest, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adeyegbe, told THISDAY that discussions are underway to resolve the matter.

“A meeting has just been concluded, and we are working on resolving all the issues. Whatever the outcome, we will communicate it. This is not something that is so serious, and everywhere is calm now,” Adeyegbe stated.

When asked if WAEC implements the minimum wage structure, Adeyegbe explained, “We conducted a salary review aligned with the federal government’s adjustment, and we are currently working on further improvements.”

The protest draws attention to persistent worries about the wellbeing of workers in the midst of Nigeria’s economic crisis and emphasises the necessity of taking more proactive steps to resolve employee complaints.
