The Federal Government is set to pay death benefits, promotion arrears and other outstanding debts running close to N300 billion to civil servants. It would pay the outstanding arrears to federal civil servants in phases.

This was disclosed by Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita during the 2016 Civil Service Week celebration in Abuja.

She said the  government had delayed payment due to the  financial challenges currently facing the country.

She noted further that President Muhammadu Buhari had directed the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation to explore ways to make the payments.

She added that there was no plan to retrench workers, saying “it is cruel to throw people into the labour market.”
