The office stated, “We understand the anxiety and frustration this situation has caused, particularly given the importance of timely salary payments to the livelihoods and responsibilities of our valued public servants. We deeply regret this unfortunate incident and wish to assure all affected employees that immediate steps have been taken to resolve the issue.”
According to the statement, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation is working closely with relevant service providers and stakeholders to ensure that the failed payments are reprocessed without further delay.
The statement concluded by saying, “We appeal to all affected Federal Public Service staff to remain calm and rest assured that no effort will be spared in ensuring everyone receives their rightful salaries.
It added that “Concrete steps have already been taken to isolate the problem, and arrangements are underway to reprocess the failed payments in the shortest possible time, as the welfare of federal government employees remains a top priority.”
