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. 
If it was as a result of excess payment then i have no issue with the order. I was surprised when i saw the headline so i have to make my own research to find out that the information is not on any well known reporters website like Vanguard and the rest. How sure is this since its Saharareporters sharing the information with Facebook and YouTube. Dont get me all wrong here, i am just saying that the information has to be solid so that we dont go around spreading the wrong information. But if it is true then its no big deal. He paid them more so he has to balance it all up.
excess payment that came in the form of examass bonus they will have made it clear from the beginning because it's in the tradition of government to give civil servants bonuses during festive season's so why is this year's own different after giving people money in the hopes of bonuses you come back later with the story of excess payment
My husband is a civil servant, am not sure of this information, and to the best of my knowledge some federal agencies that i know received their December salaries after Christmas and it's just for one month, while the federal institutions were not paid December salaries until January 2025 because they are no longer with the integrated payroll payment information system (IPPIS), and as for Christmas bonus,I don't know when last Federal civil servants received Christmas bonus, most time their December salaries comes after Christmas celebration before January , if the information OP brought says the government paid Christmas bonus,the accountant general and his cabinet knows where the money is and should be brought out, except the double salaries were paid to the director which they have embezzled, and so they should be held responsible for the returns not the individuals, as i speak to you the since January  the institutions have not been paid their full salary, that the federal government has short fall until the budget is being implemented this March that is when they will have their full salaries imagine that, the money should be fished out among them.
Na when I be pikin I no sey federal government dey pay Christmas bonus, almost ten years with my husband no Christmas bonus one day, make this country dey do the right things.
