FG: Zenith Bank glitch delayed June salary payments of some civil servants
The office of the accountant general of the federation (OAGF) has attributed the non-payment of some federal civil servants’ June 2 salaries to a technical glitch at Zenith Bank.
In a statement issued on Friday, Bawa Mokwa, the director of press and public relations at OAGF, san an investigation was launched after complaints about the non-payment of the June salary were received.
Mokwa noted that it was discovered that there were some glitches, especially for workers using Zenith Bank as their salary accounts.
He said the clarification was necessary and assured that efforts are on, in collaboration 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 statement reads.
“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.
“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.”
