The Federal Government has disbursed the second tranche of the ₦35,000 wage award arrears to federal civil servants, according to a statement released by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) on Friday.
The payment follows an earlier disbursement of one month’s arrears out of the initial five-month backlog. With the latest installment, three months of arrears remain.
In the statement signed by Director of Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa, the OAGF emphasized that the government has not defaulted on its commitment.
It reaffirmed that the wage award will continue to be paid in monthly installments of ₦35,000 until the full arrears are cleared.
The clarification comes amid speculation that the government had abandoned the payment plan. The OAGF assured workers that the process is ongoing and will be completed as promised.
