Federal civil servants in 12 government ministries, departments, and agencies might see their salaries between October and December 2024 delayed.

This is due to the fact that the budget for personnel costs by the agencies has been exhausted.

This was caused by the recent approval of the new minimum wage.

The circular issued by the Director of Finance for Director-General, Jack Odeh, on October 22, 2024, titled “Notice of Delay in October 2024 Salary,” explained that the delay was caused by the payment of the 40 per cent CONPSS Peculiar Allowance which was not initially included in the 2024 budget.

However, the Director of Press at the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, Bawa Mokwa, said the issue in question had an impact on not more than 12 MDAs, though he did not provide the specific names of entities involved.
