The Federal Government has started paying the 40 per cent pay rise arrears to civil servants in the country.
It was gathered that the government started the payment on Saturday, April 22.
President Muhammadu Buhari had proposed a 40 per cent pay rise arrears for federal civil servants to cushion the effects of the planned removal of fuel subsidy.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, later announced the approval by the Federal Government, adding that the pay rise had been included in the 2023 budget.
