The Federal Government has disbursed the second tranche of the N35,000 wage award arrears to federal workers, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation confirmed on Friday.

In a statement issued in Abuja and signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa, the OAGF clarified that the latest payment is part of ongoing efforts to offset the five-month wage award arrears owed to federal government employees.

“The Federal Government has paid the second tranche of the outstanding N35,000 wage award arrears to federal government workers,” the statement read.

It further explained that the initial tranche — representing one month — had already been paid earlier in the year, leaving three more monthly tranches to complete the payment cycle.

“With the payment of the second tranche, there remain three tranches to exhaust the wage award arrears,” the statement said.

The OAGF also addressed public concerns and speculations suggesting the Federal Government may have abandoned the arrears.

It firmly dismissed such claims, assuring civil servants of the government’s commitment to honouring its obligations.

“Contrary to insinuations in some quarters, the Federal Government has not reneged on payment of the wage award arrears,” the statement emphasised.

The wage award, which was part of a palliative package negotiated in 2023 following the removal of fuel subsidy, is being paid in monthly instalments of N35,000 over five months.

The award was designed to cushion the effects of inflation and rising living costs on public sector workers.

According to the OAGF, the Federal Government remains committed to completing the payments in instalments.

“The Federal Government will continue to pay the wage award in instalments of N35,000 per month until the outstanding arrears are exhausted,” the statement concluded.

By Ismail Omipidan  This particularly piece, is deliberately not going to be a long one. It is a follow-up to the part One and Two that I shared last year. This very intervention is necessited by my appearance as a Public Affairs Analyst on News Central TV last night , where i discussed the same subject matter. It also forms part of my continued effort to contribute meaningfully to political discourse by promoting accurate information and countering the spread of unverified claims, half-truths, and propaganda. For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...

_30th January,2026_ Osun Local Government Workers are allegedly asking who will help prevail on Ademola Adeleke administration on behalf of some selectively victimized local government officials, especially at this time that the administration is behaving like a mad bull in a china shop?  According to reports,virtually all Local Government officials who they perceived as not heeding their wicked calls not to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) political officials currently in charge of at the local government are being punished with suspension from work using dubious charges. In the civil service, it is a common occurrence for employees who err to be formally queried, suspended, or terminated by their employers following rigorous disciplinary proceedings. What may be deemed unusual under civil service rules and regulations is the suspension of local government staff on dubious grounds. It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
