Okon explained that the union is collaborating with the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, and the names of affected workers have been forwarded to their Directors of Human Resources for confirmation.

While 2,772 workers have been successfully restored to the payroll after verification exercises, Okon called on the government to expedite actions to avoid delays in the December salary for those undergoing reintegration into the payroll system.

He urged affected ASCSN members to be patient, assuring them that the union is working within the legal framework to resolve the issues promptly.

Addressing journalists on Tuesday in Abuja, the union leader said: “The physical verification exercise of the ‘17,000’ core civil servants who were delisted from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System was concluded in October 2023 and those involved were in high spirit, waiting for their monthly salary which was stopped since September 2023 to be restored.

“As of today, only those who had earlier completed their verification exercise but were mistakenly delisted have had their salaries restored while 5,000 of civil servants still have discrepancies on their date of first appointment and dates of birth.

“A total of 2,772 have been verified and forwarded to IPPIS for payment because there were no issues. The names of 5,000 workers who have discrepancies are to be forwarded to their DHR for confirmation.

“There are six teams working tirelessly to ensure that the exercise is completed on time. It is advisable for public servants to develop the habit of checking the HOS website for regular updates. We have confirmed that the salary for the month of November 2023 is concluded, therefore, those affected will not be able to get their salary for the month of November.

“However, the effort is being made by the HOSF to ensure that those cleared will get their salaries for December 2023 including the arrears from September.
