Summary Conclusion and Recommendation
5.1 Introduction
It is important to ascertain that the objective of this study was to ascertain the problem and prospect of wages and salary administration in Nigerian civil service.
In the preceding chapter, the relevant data collected for this study were presented, critically analyzed and appropriate interpretation given. In this chapter, certain recommendations made which in the opinion of the researcher will be of benefits in addressing the challenges of wages and salary administration in Nigerian civil service.
5.2 Summary
This study demonstrates that the remuneration of workers goes a long way in determining their level of pay satisfaction. There is obvious pay disparity in public and private sector.The level of pay satisfaction is important because satisfaction leads to job commitment and increase in productivity. It also enables an organization to attract and retain quality staff. Workers who are not satisfied with their pay are unhappy, less friendly and have non-challant attitudes to their jobs. When factors that enhance satisfaction areapplied, it benefits the workers and leads to increase in the productivity in the organization.Higher education constitutes a very significant means of developing the human resources of any nation.
5.3 Conclusion
Reviewing the article so far, the level of labor and productivity were seen as a veritable tool enhancing successes in the management of public sector in the scheme of things. Salaries and wages, being the oil that keeps the lantern of the public sector moving, it can therefore not be adequate with insufficient emphasize on the pay roll system.
Therefore dialectical methods of pay rolling system have been brought to bear here in order that the management of salaries and remuneration system are properly addressed for the benefit of mankind.
5.4 Recommendation
Appraisal of civil service reforms in Nigeria since independence shows that the quest appears intractable. It is therefore very expedient to control the quest in order to avoid collapse or confusion in the sector. We strongly recommend the following:
Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission should establish clear and unbiased guideline for wage increase. Most agitation for reform by workers in the recent times has been dominated by demand for salary increase.
There is the need to have political will for implementation of commission’s reports. For instance, merger of agencies need to be implemented provided palliative measures are established and the criteria for merger is clear and unbiased.
Civil service commission at various levels (federal or state) should be strengthened for implementation.
