North-Eastern University Gombe Approves Up To 65% Salary Increase For Staff

North-Eastern University Gombe Approves Up to 65% Salary Increase for Staff North-Eastern University, Gombe, has approved a significant salary increase for all its staff, with increments ranging from 40 per cent to 65 per cent, effective immediately. The university’s founder, Dr Sani Jauro, approved the new salary structure as part of efforts to improve staff welfare and recognise the contributions of employees to the institution’s growth and development. Under the new arrangement, staff members will receive salary increases based on their respective categories, with the highest adjustment reaching 65 per cent. The university said the decision reflects its commitment to improving the welfare and working conditions of its employees while creating an environment that supports effective teaching, learning and research. The salary adjustment comes amid rising living costs and growing calls across Nigeria for employers, particularly educational institutions, to review workers’ pay to reflect current economic realities. The management is expected to implement the new salary structure immediately, providing financial relief to members of staff across the institution. The development positions North-Eastern University among Nigerian private institutions taking steps to improve employee remuneration and strengthen staff retention. The university expressed hope that the improved remuneration would further motivate its workforce and contribute to the institution’s continued growth.
