The Federal Government has announced plan to pay the outstanding five months N35,000 wage award arrears to workers.
This was made known in a statement issued on Monday from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) by Bawa Mokwa, the Director of Press and Public Relations.
According to Mokwa, the Federal Government had earlier paid five months wage award in instalments.
He said that the outstanding arrears would be paid in installments of N35,000 per month for five months.
The first installment 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 noted that the Federal Government was determined to fully implement all policies and agreements regarding staff remuneration and welfare to enhance productivity and efficiency.
