OAGF Explains Delay in June Salaries for Some Civil Servants
The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) has attributed the delay in the payment of June 2025 salaries for some federal civil servants to a technical issue involving Zenith Bank Plc.
In a statement released by the Director of Press and Public Relations at the OAGF, Bawa Mokwa, the delay affected workers across several Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) whose salary accounts are domiciled with Zenith Bank.
“Following an investigation, it was discovered that the delay was due to a network glitch on the part of the bank, which disrupted the seamless transfer of salaries to the affected civil servants,” the statement read.
The OAGF acknowledged the frustration the situation has caused, especially given the significance of timely salary payments in meeting the daily needs and obligations of public servants.

“We appeal for calm and understanding from all impacted staff. The welfare of Federal Government employees remains a top priority for the Office, and no effort will be spared in ensuring that everyone receives their due payments,” he said.
In addition to resolving the June salary issue, the OAGF is also committed to clearing the outstanding four-month arrears of the ₦35,000 wage award owed to eligible government workers.
