FG announces payment of another wage award arrears to Nigerian workers
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) made this known in a statement issued on Friday by its spokesperson, Bawa Mokwa, in Abuja.
The OAGF said the Federal Government had earlier paid one month out of the initial five months of outstanding arrears, adding that with the payment of the second tranche, there remain three tranches to exhaust the wage award arrears.
The OAGF said, contrary to insinuations in some quarters, the Federal Government has not reneged on payment of the wage award arrears, stressing that the Federal Government will continue to pay the wage award in installments of N35,000 per month until the outstanding arrears are exhausted.
The payment by the Federal Government comes as the Nigerian Labour Congress had earlier lamented the approach to payment of the wage award arrears.
