The Federal Government has pledged to clear the remaining three months of arrears related to the N35,000 wage award for civil servants without further delay. Mr. Bawa Mokwa, Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, made this announcement in Abuja.
The government began paying the second tranche of the outstanding wage award on Thursday, having already paid one month from the initial five months owed. Mokwa reassured that the government remains committed to fulfilling these payments in installments until all arrears are cleared.
Concerns had been raised by civil servants regarding delays in the payments. Some expressed frustration, urging the government to expedite the process and pay the remaining arrears in one lump sum to alleviate their financial burdens.
Officials emphasize that the government is taking steps to ensure timely payments and restore trust among civil servants.
