RSG BENT ON RESOLVING AUGUST SALARY PAYMENT ISSUES – HoS

The Rivers State Acting Head of Service, Dr. Inyingi Brown, has assured that the State Government is bent on resolving issues surrounding non payment of August salaries to some staffers.

This follows several complaints by both staff and pensioners whose names were missing in last month payroll and salary payments.

In a statement she signed at the weekend, Dr. Brown also directed pensioners whose names were missing in the payroll to report to the State Ministry of Finance.

The statement reads,” This is to inform all Staff of Rivers State Government who are yet to receive their salaries for the month of August 2025, to as a matter of urgency, report to the Permanent Secretaries/Heads of their Ministries, Departments, and Agencies immediately for submission of their details for collation.”

Adding that “all pensioners, who have not received their monthly pensions for August 2025, are also urged to visit the Pensions Board or the Pensions Office in the Ministry of Finance to submit their details for collation.

“To ensure quick resolution, those concerned are advised to visit the aforementioned designations from Monday, the 8th of September to Wednesday the 10th of September 2025,” she said.

While pleading for patience from the affected staff, the Head of Service expressed regrets noting that ,”we recognize the importance of these payments for your livelihood and are committed to resolving them swiftly. We look forward to your prompt action in resolving these payment issues. ”
