Ahmed Shide, the Minister of Finance, has announced that October salary payments will commence using the newly revised pay scale.

“The new salary structure, effective from October, has been approved by the cabinet. Over the past few weeks, the Ministry of Finance and the Civil Service Commission have completed the necessary preparations, including the implementation guidelines,” Shide stated.

He further explained that the updated pay scale will be applied to the October payroll.

“This revision will benefit lower-paid government employees, members of the security forces, and all government institutions at both regional and federal levels,” he noted.

The minister also highlighted that the new pay scale will be implemented nationwide. “The regional states will start paying their employees using the new scale from October, with the federal government covering the regional share. Funds will be transferred to the regions through the Ministry of Finance,” he added.
