The Director-General of the National Productivity Centre (NPC), Dr. Nasir Raji-Mustapha, revealed plans to implement a productivity-led wage system, acknowledging that productivity plays a pivotal role in the country’s economic growth. Speaking at the centre’s headquarters in Abuja, he emphasized the need to reward employees based on their productivity, regardless of their grade level.
Dr. Raji-Mustapha stated, “We are in the process of developing a productivity-led wage system that will ensure that those who are productive are rewarded for their efforts irrespective of their grade level. Under the proposed system, employees on the same salary scale can earn different wages.”
Regarding the involvement of organized labor in this initiative, Dr. Raji-Mustapha highlighted the importance of their input, noting that such a significant task cannot be undertaken without their collaboration.
He also announced that Vice President Kashim Shettima would be the keynote speaker at the upcoming two-day National Productivity Summit organized by the centre in the nation’s capital.
