The Federal Government has directed the payment of the outstanding wage award owed to federal civil servants, in a move aimed at clearing arrears and improving workers' welfare.
The directive follows ongoing engagements between the government and organised labour over outstanding financial obligations to public sector employees.
According to the government, the payment is part of its commitment to honour agreements reached with workers and provide relief amid prevailing economic challenges.
The wage award was introduced as a temporary measure to cushion the effects of rising living costs pending the implementation of a new national minimum wage.
Civil servants are expected to receive the outstanding payments in line with the government's directive, while relevant agencies have been instructed to ensure prompt implementation.
The development is expected to bring relief to thousands of federal workers and further strengthen ongoing efforts to improve industrial harmony within Nigeria's public service.
