The Federal Government has announced plans to begin the payment of outstanding N35,000 wage award arrears owed to federal workers, starting immediately after the April 2025 salary is paid.
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), in a statement released in Abuja, confirmed that the arrears would be paid in instalments of N35,000 per month for five months.
This wage award was part of an agreement between the government and organised labour aimed at cushioning the economic hardship brought about by the removal of fuel subsidies.
The OAGF noted that the Federal Government had previously paid five months of the wage award to employees and is now set to clear the remaining five months in fulfilment of its commitment to worker welfare.
“The wage award arrears would not be paid with the April 2025 salary; it will come immediately after the salary is paid,” the statement clarified.
The Office also reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to fully implementing all agreements related to staff remuneration and welfare, with the goal of boosting productivity and service delivery across ministries and agencies.
