The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has assured federal government employees that swift measures are being taken to resolve the delay in June 2025 salary payments, which affected workers whose salary accounts are domiciled with Zenith Bank.
In a statement released by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa, the OAGF confirmed that a technical network glitch during the salary processing stage at the bank led to the non-payment of salaries across various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
Mokwa explained that the issue came to light following widespread complaints from affected workers. “Upon investigation, it was discovered that the salary payments for employees across various MDAs were affected due to a technical network glitch during the processing of salaries at the bank,” the statement said.
