FG Introduces New Payment Structure for LG officials
The Federal Government has set up a new system for paying local government officials directly from Abuja under the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC).
This approach affects key officials in local government administration, with a total of eight to nine individuals receiving their salaries through the central payment system.
Under this new arrangement, each local government will have a Chairman and a Deputy Chairman, along with other key officials overseeing different sectors. The positions include:
1. Chairman
2. Deputy Chairman
3. Secretary
4. Supervisory Councillor for Health
5. Supervisory Councillor for Agriculture
6. Supervisory Councillor for Education/Social Services
7. Supervisory Councillor for Works
8. Statutory Adviser for People with Disability, Humanitarian Service & Traditional Institutions
9. Statutory Adviser for Security
10. Statutory Adviser for Youth Development & Community Work
Officials say this new system is meant to ensure that salaries are paid consistently and transparently
