The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) says it has neither approved nor formally conveyed the approval of the allowance to the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) or any labour union.
It explained that the statutory responsibility for the issuance and communication of such circulars rests solely with the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC). The circular in reference was issued by the NSIWC on the 23rd of April, 2026.
In a statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Eno Olotu, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation stated that the meeting convened by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation on Tuesday, 12th May, 2026, was strictly an interventionist and conciliatory engagement aimed at facilitating dialogue between organised labour under its jurisdiction and the NSIWC, in order to promote mutual understanding and avert any breakdown in labour relations within the Federal Civil Service.
The OHCSF remains committed to fostering peaceful labour relations and sustaining collaborative engagement with all stakeholders towards the continued advancement of industrial harmony in the Federal Civil Service.
