Nigerian govt explains why civil servants are yet to receive October salaries

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Folasade Yemi-Esan, has explained why the federal government’s delay in payment of October salaries.

Yemi-Esan explained that the delay was because the 2020 budget was passed before the conclusion of negotiation on the new Minimum Wage and its consequential adjustment.

The HoCSF gave the explanation in a statement issued by Mrs. Olawunmi Ogunmosunle, Director of Information, Office of the HoCSF, NAN reports.

She also assured civil servants that necessary steps have been taken to resolve the matter.

Yemi-Esan said: “The shortfalls are to be paid from the lump sum already set aside in the budget for the minimum wage and its consequential adjustment.

“The committee is expected to conclude its work by the end of this week so that salaries can be paid.”

She also commended civil servants for their patience.
