Wage Award: FG Commences Payment Of Arears.

The Federal Government has commenced payment of the N35,000 wage award arrears to federal government workers.

The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) made this known in a statement in Abuja.

The statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa explains that the OAGF said many federal government employees have confirmed receipt of the payment, noting that others that are yet to received will do so.

The statement urges the public to disregard report earlier circulated by some media that the N35,000 wage award was excluded from 2025 Budget.

It stresses that the Accountant General of the Federation didn’t brief newsmen on the wage award issue, assuring that outstanding arrears would be paid as promised by the government.

The OAGF said the payments would be done in instalments of N35,000 for five months.
