The Nigerian government has announced its readiness to pay the outstanding five months of N35,000 salary wage award arrears to federal workers under its payroll.
The government revealed that the first installment of arrears will be paid after the April 2025 salary payment.
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) confirmed this in a statement made available by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Mr. Bawa Mokwa, in Abuja on Monday.
The OAGF explained that the Federal Government had earlier paid five months' wage awards to federal employees in installments, adding that the outstanding arrears would be paid in installments of N35,000 per month for five months.
“The wage award arrears would not be paid with the April 2025 salary; it will come immediately after the salary is paid,”; the OAGF said.
