The Federal Government has assured public servants that payment of outstanding wage awards will be made before the middle of August.
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by Efe Ovuakporie, head of information and public relations at the Federal Ministry of Finance.
According to the statement, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, gave the assurance during a meeting with labour leaders led by the National President of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council (JPSNC), Trade Side, Kabiru Minjibir.
Mr Oyedele said the government had already begun addressing several labour concerns before receiving the council’s formal communication.
He reaffirmed the Tinubu administration’s commitment to fulfilling promises to Nigerian workers through constructive engagement and dialogue.
