The Ghanaian government has approved a 10% wage increase for public sector workers following successful negotiations between the Labour Union and President John Dramani Mahama.
This is the second wage adjustment in less than a year.
It follows a 23% salary increase in 2024, which was introduced to cushion workers against rising living costs.
President Mahama personally engaged with union representatives to secure their backing for the latest increase, highlighting the government’s commitment to easing financial pressures amid ongoing economic challenges.
Announcing the decision, Minister of Labour, Jobs and Employment Rashid Pelpuo confirmed that the increment would take effect from 1 March 2025.
