Federal Government to Pay Wage Award Arrears.
By Yahaya Zakka Minna.
The Federal Government is set to pay the outstanding wage award arrears of N35,000 for five months to federal government workers.
This was announced in a press release by Bawa Mokwa, Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), issued in Abuja.
The OAGF clarified that the Federal Government had previously paid a wage award to federal employees in installments and that the outstanding arrears would be settled in installments of N35,000 per month for five months.
The first installment of the outstanding wage award arrears is scheduled to be paid after the April 2025 salary has been disbursed.
“The wage award arrears will not be included with the April 2025 salary; it will be paid immediately after the salary is distributed,” the OAGF stated.
The Office reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to fully implementing all policies and agreements related to staff remuneration and welfare to enhance productivity and efficiency.
