Kwara Government Denies Owing Workers May, June Salaries
The Kwara State Government has denied claims that it failed to pay workers’ salaries for May and June 2026, saying payments for both months were fully processed and released.
The government said workers who are yet to receive their salaries were affected by payroll validation, staff verification, and compliance requirements linked to the ongoing State Staff Identification Number registration exercise.
In a statement, the State Accountant-General, Abdulganiyu Sani, said the verification process is aimed at improving payroll accuracy and eliminating irregularities, adding that it is not designed to prevent genuine workers from receiving their salaries.
The clarification followed a recent warning by labour unions, including the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, and Joint Negotiation Council, over alleged salary delays and statutory deductions. The unions had demanded changes in the state’s payroll management system and threatened industrial action if their concerns were not addressed.
