The Nigerian government has cited technical challenges as the reason behind the delayed payment of June 2025 salaries for certain federal civil servants. The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) addressed the situation in a public statement on Friday.
The clarification comes after numerous employees across various government agencies reported not receiving their June salaries. Bawa Mokwa, the OAGF spokesperson, explained that the problem mainly involves workers with accounts at Zenith Bank, where a technical network failure temporarily halted payment processing.
“The OAGF acknowledges the distress and inconvenience this delay has caused, especially considering how crucial timely salary payments are to public servants,” Mokwa stated. “We sincerely apologize for the disruption and are actively working to rectify the issue.”
According to the OAGF, efforts are being made in coordination with service providers and other stakeholders to resolve the technical fault and expedite the pending payments. Measures have already been taken to identify the root cause, with plans in motion to distribute the outstanding salaries as soon as possible.
The office urged affected workers to remain patient, assuring them that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure they receive their due payments. “The well-being of federal employees is of utmost importance,” Mokwa stressed, reaffirming the OAGF’s dedication to transparency and efficiency in payroll management.
The OAGF also emphasized its commitment to engaging with stakeholders to enhance service delivery and avoid similar disruptions in the future. Workers impacted by the delay are encouraged to remain calm as authorities work toward a swift resolution.
