In a statement released on Friday, the Director of Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa, revealed that the issue specifically affected workers whose accounts are domiciled with Zenith Bank.
He explained that the anomaly was discovered after several complaints were received from civil servants who had not yet been paid for the month.
The OAGF expressed deep regret over the inconvenience caused and assured affected workers that steps are being taken to rectify the issue and reprocess the outstanding payments promptly.
According to the office, it is working closely with the relevant service providers and stakeholders to ensure a swift resolution.
Public servants were urged to remain, with assurances that all efforts are being made to prevent further delays and ensure timely payments.
Below is the full statement from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation:
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) wishes to inform the general public, particularly Federal Government employees, that it is aware of the recent complaints regarding the non-receipt of June 2025 salaries by some personnel, especially those whose accounts are domiciled with Zenith Bank Plc.
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.
