The Federal Government has paid the second tranche of the outstanding N35,000 wage award arrears to federal government workers.
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), in a statement issued by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa, recalled that the government had earlier paid one month out of the initial five months outstanding arrears, adding that with the payment of the second tranche, there remains three tranches to fully offset the public servants’ wage award arrears.
He maintained that contrary to insinuations in some quarters, the Federal Government had not reneged on payment of the wage award arrears.
The Director restated the FG’s commitment to paying the wage award in instalments of N35,000 per month until the outstanding arrears are paid.
