The federal government has said some civil servants in various ministries, agencies and departments have started receiving arrear payment of the approved minimum wage.
A director at the ministry Finance and Budget Planing said some of the workers have already received the payment alerts from their banks.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the director called on the workers to remain optimistic as all arrears will be paid before the end of December as promised by the minister of finance, Zainab Ahmed.
“To be frank with you, I have just received mine but hopefully other workers who have not received theirs will get it soon,” the director who spoke on anonymity said.
