The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has blamed a technical glitch for the delay in the payment of June 2025 salaries to civil servants across some Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
In a statement issued on Friday by the Director of Information, Bawa Mokwa, the OAGF acknowledged growing concerns over the non-payment of salaries, particularly for employees whose accounts are domiciled with Zenith Bank Plc.
“Upon investigation, it was discovered that the salary payments for employees across various MDAs were affected due to a technical network glitch during the processing of salaries at the bank,” the statement read.
The OAGF expressed regret over the delay, noting the importance of timely salary payments to the welfare and responsibilities of public servants.
“We deeply regret the inconvenience this unfortunate incident has caused and wish to assure all affected employees that immediate steps have been taken to resolve the issue,” Mokwa stated.
He further disclosed that the OAGF is working closely with service providers and relevant stakeholders to reprocess the failed transactions without further delay.
“We appeal to all affected staff of the Federal Public Service to remain calm and rest assured that no effort will be spared in ensuring everyone receives their rightful salaries,” the statement added.
Reaffirming its commitment to workers’ welfare, the OAGF assured civil servants that transparency, accountability, and efficiency remain central to its payroll operations.
“We remain open to continuous engagement with stakeholders to ensure sustained improvements in our service delivery,” it concluded.
