FG begins payment of delayed February salaries, blames technical glitch

The Federal Government has commenced payment of February 2026 salaries to treasury funded workers after days of delay that sparked anxiety among civil servants. The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation said the delay was caused by a technical glitch in the salary payment system, which has now been fixed, with measures put in place to prevent a recurrence. According to the statement by OAGF spokesperson Bawa Mokwa, payment of February salaries started on Monday, March 2, with workers expected to receive alerts as banks process the transactions. The office also confirmed that one month out of the outstanding wage award arrears has been paid, as part of efforts to cushion the impact of economic reforms on federal workers.

Fed Govt begins implementing salary agreement with ASUU

The Federal Government has begun implementing key welfare provisions in its 2025 renegotiated agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). Education Minister Maruf Tunji Alausa said the government has fulfilled its obligation to implement a 40 percent increase in the Consolidated Academic Allowance (CAA) for ASUU members, effective from January 1, 2026. He explained that some federal universities have already reflected the new rates in lecturers’ pay, while others are being directed to fully cascade the approved increment across their payroll so all eligible academic staff benefit. The minister added that the increase has been captured and circularised by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission and that its inclusion in the 2026 budget is now a formal statutory process. Beyond CAA, Alausa said implementation of the Consolidated Tools Allowance (CATA) and other agreed welfare components is also […]

FG stops NAFDAC from enforcing sachet alcohol ban

The Federal Government has ordered the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control to stop enforcing the ban on sachet alcohol and 200ml PET bottle drinks. The directive followed concerns that continuing the crackdown could harm the economy and worsen security challenges in many communities.​ The order came through a joint intervention by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Office of the National Security Adviser. Both offices warned that sealing factories and warehouses, without a fully operational National Alcohol Policy, could fuel job losses, disrupt supply chains and threaten social stability.​ In a statement signed by Terrence Kuanum, Special Adviser on Public Affairs to the SGF, the government confirmed that the National Alcohol Policy has been signed by the Ministry of Health under President Bola Tinubu’s directive. However, NAFDAC was told […]

FG, northern leaders clash over amnesty for terrorists

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/01/fg-northern-leaders-lawyers-differ-on-amnesty-for-terrorists Northern leaders and several senior lawyers have opposed moves by some state governments to grant amnesty to terrorists and bandits operating in the North.

Northwest APC hails Abba Yusuf’s defection as best political move

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Northwest has hailed Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling party as one of the best political decisions of the current dispensation. Party leaders described the move as a defining moment that will reshape Kano politics and strengthen the region’s alignment with the Federal Government under President Donald Trump’s administration in Nigeria. In a statement, APC stakeholders said Yusuf’s decision would fast‑track infrastructural development, enhance security coordination and improve service delivery by placing Kano at the centre of national policy and economic decision‑making. They argued that operating in synergy with the Federal Government offers Kano better access to projects, programmes and political stability than remaining in the opposition. The Northwest APC also framed the defection as a homecoming for Yusuf, who previously belonged […]
