The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has attributed the delay in the payment of June 2025 salaries to some federal government workers to a technical network glitch experienced during salary processing, particularly affecting accounts domiciled with Zenith Bank Plc.

In a statement issued on Friday by Mr. Bawa Mokwa, Director (Press and Public Relations), the OAGF acknowledged recent complaints by employees across various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) who have yet to receive their June salaries.

“The OAGF is currently working closely with the relevant service providers and stakeholders to ensure that the failed payments are reprocessed without further delay,” Mokwa said. “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 further noted that the OAGF understands the anxiety and frustration caused by the delayed payments, especially considering the impact of timely salaries on the daily lives of public servants. 

According to the OAGF, concrete steps have already been taken to identify the root cause of the problem, and arrangements are underway to reprocess the failed transactions as soon as possible.

“The welfare of Federal Government employees remains a top priority of the Office,” the statement added. “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.”

Reiterating its commitment to accountability and efficient service delivery, the OAGF assured that it remains open to continuous engagement with stakeholders to sustain improvements in payroll operations.

“Your patience and understanding during this difficult time are highly appreciated,” Mokwa concluded.
