The Federal Government has attributed the non-payment of June 2025 salaries to some civil servants to technical network issues, particularly affecting employees with Zenith Bank accounts.
In a Friday statement from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), the government acknowledged being aware of complaints regarding unpaid salaries.
“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,” said Bawa Mokwa, Director of Press and Public Relations at OAGF.
The statement expressed regret over the situation, recognizing the “anxiety and frustration” caused by the delay, particularly given the importance of timely salary payments to 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 statement continued.
“The office is currently working closely with the relevant service providers and stakeholders to ensure that the failed payments are reprocessed without further delay.”
Affected workers were urged to remain patient while technical teams work to rectify the problem.
The office reaffirmed its commitment to “transparency, accountability, and efficiency in all payroll operations” while promising continuous engagement with stakeholders to improve service delivery.
