The Presidency has said that the delay in paying October salaries to the federal civil servants was caused by computers that crashed.
The Presidency explained that the computers crashed as the salaries were about to be paid last month.
A statement today by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, further explained that the delay was inadvertent caused by unforeseen technical challenges.
Garba Shehu said however that the salaries for the month of October would be paid tomorrow, Tuesday, even as he said that President Muhammadu Buhari “is seriously concerned about the ordeals of civil servants on account of delayed payment of salaries.”
He said that the happiness and welfare of the people is one of the cardinal objectives of any democratically elected government, saying that President Buhari is committed to these objectives not only on paper but also in practice.
Garba Shehu expressed the government’s appreciation to Nigerians for their patience and understanding, adding that empathy would be the guiding philosophy of the Buhari administration. [myad]
