The federal government has announced plans to commence the payment of the outstanding five months’ arrears of the thirty five thousand naira wage award to federal workers.
In a statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), Bawa Mokwa, in Abuja today, it was disclosed that arrangements have been concluded to settle the outstanding payments.
The OAGF noted that the federal government had earlier paid five months of the wage award to eligible workers in installments. However, it confirmed that arrears for an additional five months remain outstanding, which will now be paid in installments of thirty five thousand naira per month over a five-month period.
