The Federal Government of Nigeria has attributed the delay in February salaries for treasury-funded workers to a technical issue, which has now been resolved.
The Federal Government of Nigeria announced on Monday that the delay in the payment of salaries for February 2026 to treasury-funded workers was caused by a technical hitch. The Office of the Accountant-General confirmed that payments began on March 2, 2026, following the resolution of the issue that disrupted the salary schedule. Federal workers had expressed concerns over the delayed payments, prompting the government to issue a statement addressing the matter.
In the statement released by Bawa Mokwa, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the Accountant-General, it was noted that necessary measures have been implemented to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The government acknowledged the impact that salary delays can have on federal workers and sought to reassure them of its commitment to timely salary disbursements.
The implications of such delays extend beyond the immediate financial concerns of federal employees; they can also affect the overall morale and trust in government institutions. By addressing the issue publicly and committing to improved systems, the government aims to mitigate any negative sentiment while ensuring that workers receive their due compensation in a timely manner.
