Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni has approved payment of N70,000 as minimum wage for the state civil servants with effect from December 2024.
Gatekeepers News reports that the minimum wage approval was contained in a memo signed by Governor Buni, following recommendations made by committee on minimum wage constituted by the state government.
Director-General of Press and Media Affairs to the Governor, Mamman Mohammed in a statement released, said the committee had recommended for a reconciliation of local government finances to ensure a hitch-free transition process of local government councils from the existing salary structure to the new minimum wage.
He noted that the reconciliation process which is almost completed would be concluded soon for approval and quick enrolment of local government employees into the new minimum wage salary structure.
Governor Buni charged civil servants in the state to reciprocate the gesture by putting in their best to ensure effective and efficient service delivery.
