The Nigerian Government is set to pay the outstanding five months arrears of ₦35,000 wage award to federal government workers, according to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF).
In a statement issued on Monday, the OAGF explained that the Nigerian Government had earlier paid five months’ wage award to federal government employees in instalments, adding that the outstanding arrears would be paid in instalments of ₦35,000 per month for five months.
The first instalment of the outstanding wage award arrears would be paid after the April 2025 salary.
“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, reiterating the Nigerian Government’s resolve to fully implement all policies and agreements regarding staff remuneration and welfare to enhance productivity and efficiency.
