Prez Mahama approves a 10% salary increase for all public sector workers

The John Dramani Mahama-led government has approved a 10% salary increase for all public sector workers following successful negotiations with the Labour Union.

The last salary increase for public sector workers in Ghana was in 2024, when the then government, led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo approved a 23% raise to adjust for the cost of living and economic conditions.

President Mahama personally engaged with union representatives to secure their support for the increase, underscoring the government’s commitment to easing financial burdens amid economic challenges.

Minister of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, Dr. Rashid Pelpuo who made the announcement said the increment takes effect on March 1, 2025
