There is anxiety among federal civil servants as about 5,000 of them may not get November and December salaries.
The National President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), Dr. Tommy Okon, who disclosed this in Abuja, urged the Federal Government to resolve the issues swiftly.
He explained that, out of the 17,000 who were delisted from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) in October 2023 are on course to receive their salaries, only those who had earlier completed their verification exercise but were mistakenly delisted have had their salaries restored.
According to him, 5,000 civil servants still have discrepancies on their date of first appointment and date of birth.
A total of 2,772 have been verified and forwarded to IPPIS for payment because there were no issues”.
While advising affected civil servants to constantly check the Head of Service of the Federation website for regular updates so as not to be caught unawares, he hinted that six teams are working to ensure that the exercise is completed on time.
However, he assured that some of the affected workers might likely get their salaries for December, including the arrears from September.
Okon appealed to the Federal Government, through the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, to expedite action to ensure that December salaries are not delayed, while urging members of the union to exercise patience, saying everything is being done within the ambit of the laws to ensure that the issues are resolved expeditiously.
