However, on Wednesday, a senior civil servant who confirmed receipt of her salary said:
“The alert dropped a few minutes ago. I am happy to inform you that my November 2023 salary has now been paid. Same thing with others in my office.”
Another civil servant who pleaded anonymity said: “It is true, we have now been paid.”
Interestingly, the civil servants who were delisted from the IPPIS, have now been re-enrolled into the payroll of Tinubu's government.
