The Nigerian government, through the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), has attributed the non-payment of June 2025 salaries for some federal civil servants to technical issues.
In a statement released on Friday, the OAGF spokesperson, Bawa Mokwa, from government addressed the concerns raised by affected workers, particularly those who have yet to receive their June salaries.
Following an investigation, the OAGF identified technical glitches—especially those impacting civil servants who receive their salaries through Zenith Bank—as the cause of the delay.
The Government office assured that it is actively working with relevant service providers and stakeholders to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
“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.
