The Federal Government says about 428 Ministries, Department and Agencies will not be able to pay salaries by the end of November.
The Director-General of the Budget Office, Dr Ben Akabueze, stated this on Tuesday when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Public Account.
Dr Akabueze said this was because the 2019 budget had been prepared before the Federal Government announced a new minimum wage regime.
He, however, said the government was considering releasing funds from the Service Wide Vote to cater for the shortfall in the Civil servants’ salaries for the month of November.
According to him, “About 428 agencies will not be able to pay salaries by the end of November. We may need to take from the Service Wide Vote to take care of the shortfall in the workers’ salaries.’’

Earlier in a remark, Chairman of the Committee, Senator Mathew Urhoghide, expressed concern over what he called poor funding of the Office of Auditor General of the Federation by the Executive arm.
Senator Urhoghide said that it was an aberration for the office to always lament over the shortfall in the workforce and other pressing demands while the other agencies like Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) were being properly funded.
Responding, Akabueze said the budget office would only appropriate funds to the Office of Auditor General of Federation based on the extant laws.
