The Executive Governor of Yobe State, His Excellency Hon. Mai Mala Buni CON, has approved the payment of a N70,000 minimum wage to state civil servants, effective from December 2024.
The announcement was made in a statement issued to Kanempress News by Mamman Mohammed, the Director General of Press and Media Affairs to the Governor. This decision follows recommendations from the committee on minimum wage constituted by the state government.
The committee recommended a reconciliation of local government finances to ensure a smooth transition for the local government councils from the existing salary structure to the new minimum wage. The reconciliation process is nearing completion and is expected to be finalized soon, enabling the quick enrolment of local government employees into the new salary structure.
The government has expressed its expectation that civil servants will reciprocate this gesture by committing to effective and efficient service delivery.
