The Federal Government has blamed a technical hitch for the delay in the payment of February salaries to treasury-funded workers, announcing that disbursement had commenced nationwide. In a statement issued in Abuja on Monday, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation said it had started paying affected workers after resolving the issue that disrupted the schedule.
The statement by the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, Bawa Mokwa, read in part, “The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation has commenced the payment of February 2026 salaries to Federal Government treasury-funded workers. Payments began on Monday, March 2, 2026.
The clarification followed concerns among federal workers over the late payment of their February salaries, which are typically credited before the end of the month. The OAGF also disclosed progress on outstanding wage awards, stating that part of the arrears had been cleared.
