The Secretary-General , Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal, has said the Federal Government is planning to pay workers salary arrears and allowances.

In a statement issued on Monday, Comrade Lawal, who is also a member of the Presidency’s Panel on Bailout for Federal Public Servants, said the outstanding benefits owed thousands of public servants would be paid soon.

He said the benefits included salary arrears, promotion arrears, first 28th days allowance on transfer from post, repatriation allowance and allowance for mandatory training organised by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) in 2010.

He said the union had written series of letters to President Muhammadu Buhari as President-elect and since he assumed office on May 29, intimating him of the outstanding salaries and allowances.

Following this, he said, the President on September 14, through the OHCSF ordered MDAs to compile names of affected officers within seven days.

“Members of the Committee that worked on the salary arrears issue were drawn mainly from the Federal Ministry of Finance, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity and ASCSN,” he added.

The ASCSN scribe explained that the Committee had pleaded with the Presidency to accept as supplementary the list from few other MDAs that could not meet the seven-day deadline for the submission of names of affected officers.

He added that a memorandum was forwarded to the President on the completion of the assignment on bailout for public servants in the MDAs.

“We must also express gratitude to the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Dr Cement Illoh, the Chairman of the Panel, for the able manner he steered the affairs of the Committee.

“In particular, our special thanks also go to President Buhari for directing the compilation of the arrears and allowances of the Federal workers. We urge him to continue to play his fatherly role by directing the release of needed funds so that these outstanding salaries and allowances can be paid in the next few weeks in order to put the entire sordid story behind us,” he said.
