The Accountant General of the Federation has explained that Federal workers will start receiving their January salaries from Thursday evening (yesterday) attributing the delay to a glitch from the Government Integrated Financial Management System (GIFMIS) platform.
There have been rising concerns over delay in the payment of January salaries of federal workers.
The delay was blamed on the non-conclusion of the 2024 appropriation on the GIFMIS platform by the Office of Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF).

A January 31 memo titled, “Delay in the payment of January 2024 Salary”, from the Bursary Department of the National Mathematics Centre, Abuja, to all its staff informed them of the development.
The memo referenced NMC/BUR/GC/Vol.1, and was signed by the acting Bursar, Pius Ukwah, who said,
“We wish to inform you that January 2024 salaries will be delayed beyond normal”.
“As of today, the OAGF is still working on finalising the 2024 appropriation on the GIFMIS platform and as a result, the personnel warrant for January is yet to be released”.
