FG Pays Second Tranche of Wage Award Arrears

The Federal Government has made a significant step in clearing outstanding wage award arrears by paying the second tranche to workers. This payment comes after an initial payment of five months' arrears was made a month earlier.

According to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, this latest payment is part of a three-tranche plan to settle all outstanding arrears. The government has reiterated its commitment to continue making monthly payments until all arrears are fully cleared.

This move is aimed at addressing the long-standing issue of unpaid wages and ensuring that workers receive their rightful dues in a timely manner.
