Nigerian Federal Workers Demand Immediate Payment of Three-Month Unpaid Wages

Nigerian federal workers are calling on the government to promptly settle their three-month unpaid arrears of the N35,000 wage award introduced to mitigate the impact of increased living costs. The delay in payment has led to frustration among employees, with criticisms directed at the government for recurrent delays in honoring commitments.

The workers emphasize the importance of timely payment, especially during economic hardships like fuel subsidy removal and currency depreciation. The government cites revenue availability as a factor affecting the payment timeline.
