The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation
(OHCSF) has directed that all arrears of salaries and allowances of Nigerian
workers must be compiled within seven days for them to be paid “immediately”,
The Nation reports.
This
was contained in a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday via the Association
of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) Secretary-General, Comrade Alade
Bashir Lawal.
The
Comrade lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for bringing hope to thousands of
public service employees who are being owed arrears of salaries and allowances
for years.
According
to him, the Presidency identified the outstanding benefits as: salary arrears,
promotion arrears, 1st 28 days allowance on transfer from post, repatriation
allowance, burial expenses, death benefits and mandatory training of OHCSF in
2010.
The
Presidency directed the MDAs to ensure that each unpaid entitlement is
accurate, verifiable, with the name, designation, status (serving or retired)
and amount due to each officer.
“The
correct information should reach the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the
Federation on or before Monday September 21, 2015,” the circular, dated
September 14 stressed.
