Nigerian govt blames technical glitches for non-payment of workers’ June salaries
The Nigerian government, through the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, OAGF, has blamed technical glitches for the non-payment of some federal civil servants’ June 2025 salaries.
The spokesman of OAGF, Bawa Mokwa, made this clarification in a statement on Friday.
His clarification comes amid complaints from workers regarding the non-receipt of June 2025.
Reacting, OAGF said upon investigation, it blamed technical glitches for the delay, especially for workers using Zenith Bank as their salary accounts.
The office assured that it is working closely with the relevant service providers and stakeholders to resolve the matter.
“Upon investigation, it was discovered that the salary payments for employees across various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs, were affected due to a technical network glitch during the processing of salaries at the bank.
“The OAGF understands the anxiety and frustration this situation has caused, particularly given the importance of timely salary payments to the livelihoods and responsibilities of our valued 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.
“The office is currently working closely with the relevant service providers and stakeholders to ensure that the failed payments are reprocessed 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.
Concrete steps have already been taken to isolate the problem, and arrangements are underway to reprocess the failed payments in the shortest possible time. The welfare of federal government employees remains a top priority of the office.
“The OAGF remains fully committed to transparency, accountability, and efficiency in all payroll operations and is open to continuous engagement with stakeholders to ensure sustained improvements in our service delivery,” the statement reads.
