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
