The federal government has explained why several workers are yet to receive their November salaries
One of the affected civil servants who spoke with TheCable said some workers at the federal ministry of labour and employment have not been paid since October.
The staff, who asked not to be named, said they were told that the government is broke.
“Only a few members of staff have been paid half of their November salary while the previous two months are still outstanding,” the labour ministry worker said.
Some of the workers said they have received no explanation from the authorities regarding the reason for the delay.
Bawa Mokwa, director of press at the office of the accountant-general of the federation, said the delay in the payment of November salaries was due to a “glitch”.
Mokwa, who spoke on Tuesday said the integrated personnel and payroll information system (IPPIS) unit, which is responsible for the payment, had technical issues.
The director of press said the issue had been sorted, assuring that all the workers would be paid.
“I just left the IPPIS office. It has been confirmed, the director in charge of the payment said they have done what they are supposed to do,” he said
“It was a glitch and it has been settled today. All errors have also been corrected. You can quote me.
All federal workers will receive their November salary tonight.”
