The President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government has ordered continuous salary deductions from federal workers to recover "excess payments" made in December 2024, blaming the situation on a system error.
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) confirmed in a Friday statement, signed by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa, that deductions are ongoing and will continue until the overpaid sums are fully recovered.
This move has come as a shock to many civil servants because when the money was paid last December everyone thought it was exmass bonus which is usually what is done during festive periods, what do you think that the situation?
https://saharareporters.com/2025/03/08/tinubu-government-orders-salary-deductions-nigerian-workers-claims-december-was-overpaidGuys you see the reason why i say this our so called country is a big scam based on some research i made this action has cost so many civic servants dissatisfaction, most of them didn't even no that the addition of salary that was paid to them in December 2024 time were erroneous, now the unexpected deduction has cost alot of thing to so many FG workers we can just imagine a local Government primary school teacher who earned not less than 60k in a month with families and many other to feed how would it sound to he or her with the bad cost of things in the economic this is really been unfair to the worker, this deduction that was made has an emerged loans to most people who are dependent on the salaries, and also the government have said the salaries deduction will stay a little bit until all the overpaid sum are been recovered by the FG, unless a new salary structure is been bought out which the amounts that was been pay in the month of January and February are expected to remain unchanged.
This is one of the reasons why i choose not to be unemployed by the so called FG because there is no amount that can buy my time by them
