The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) made this known in a statement issued by spokesperson, Bawa Mokwa, on Saturday, August 9, 2025.
The OAGF said the federal 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 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.
