The government has approved a 10 percent wage hike for public sector workers.
The agreement was reached following successful negotiations between the Labour Union and President John Dramani Mahama.
Minister of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, Rashid Pelpuo, in his announcement, said the increment takes effect on March 1, 2025.
President John Dramani Mahama was present at the meeting and negotiated with the labour unions.
In his brief remarks, the president urged the labour unions to consider the dire state of the economy as they proceed with the wage negotiations.
He promised them that if the economy bounced back, he would ensure higher remuneration for workers in the coming year.
The last salary increase for Ghana’s public sector workers occurred in 2024, when the government approved a 23% increase to account for rising living costs and economic conditions.
