The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has described reports on the non-payment of personnel promotion arrears published on some online media platforms as misleading and baseless. He clarified that NSCDC Commandant General (CG), Ahmed Audi, has no control over the payment of salary arrears, promotion arrears or other emoluments. “The payment of arrears falls squarely under the Presidential Committee on Arrears, chaired by the Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation, and the Accountant General of the Federation, and not the NSCDC,” he said. “For 2020–2022 arrears, the corps has followed due process regarding the payment of the arrears by applying to the presidential committee for payment and the request has since been approved. She however said that it was out of place to say that the non-payment of promotion arrears is false because for years there has been no disbursement in that regard.
