FG set to offset five-month wage award arrears
The federal government is to pay workers the outstanding five months’ N35,000 wage award arrears.
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) made this known in a statement by Bawa Mokwa, the office’s spokesperson.
Mr Mokwa said the federal government had earlier paid five months’ wage awards in instalments.
He said the outstanding arrears would be paid in instalments of N35,000 per month for five months.
Mr Mokwa said the first instalment of the outstanding wage award arrears would be paid after the April 2025 salary.
“The wage award arrears will not be paid with the April 2025 salary; it will come immediately after the salary is paid,” he said.
He said the federal government was determined to fully implement all policies and agreements regarding staff remuneration and welfare to enhance productivity and efficiency.
