Improved Staff Welfare: FG Launches Employees Compensation Scheme
The Federal Government has launched Employees’ Compensation Scheme (ECS) to enhance staff welfare, improve workplace safety, and boost productivity across the Federal Civil Service. Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Esther Walson-Jack, disclosed this during the commissioning of the ECS Help Desk in Abuja, describing the Scheme as a key intervention to provide timely compensation and support for Civil Servants affected by work-related injuries, diseases, disabilities, or death.
She noted that the ECS complements existing welfare programmes, including the Group Life Assurance Scheme, while expanding protection for employees and their families, reflecting the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to safeguarding the well-being and dignity of Public Servants.
Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund Managing Director, Oluwaseyi Mayomi Faleye, described the ECS as a major step toward institutionalising structured care and protection for Civil Servants, supported by a transparent, payroll-driven system. He added that the ECS Help Desk will provide information, claims support, and a feedback platform to enhance service delivery.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the OHCSF and the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) to ensure effective implementation of the Scheme.
