The Kwara State Government has denied claims that it owes workers salaries for May and June 2026, saying salaries for both months were fully processed and paid.
The government said the few workers yet to receive their salaries were affected by payroll validation, staff verification and compliance requirements linked to the ongoing State Staff Identification Number registration exercise.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Press Secretary to the Office of the Accountant-General, Babatunde Abdulrasheed, the Accountant-General, Abdulganiyu Sani, described the allegations as incorrect.
“I wish to state categorically that salaries for May and June 2026 were duly processed and paid. The assertion that the State failed to pay salaries for these two months is incorrect.
“Where a few employees are yet to receive their salaries, such cases are isolated and are largely due to payroll validation, staff verification, and compliance requirements,” he said.
