This notification is to update you regarding Government recent pronouncement aimed at liberalizing the payment system in the country within this Month of December 2019. In response to the numerous complaints coming especially from foreign beneficiaries, Government has taken some urgent measures to facilitate the process of foreign payment in the country.

Now, having cross-checked your records, we have observed that you have not settled some Government charges accruing to the Federal Government of Nigeria which, according to the minuted report in your payment file, is the reason you have not received your payment till date. In order to avoid any further delay on your payment, we have planned to make deductions of the relevant charges, dues, levies or taxes accruable to the Government from your outstanding claim and then, release the balance to you as quickly as possible.
