The circular directed the Ministry of Finance to effect the payment of the 13th month’s salary to all workers across the state without delay.

Highlighting the matter, the governor’s media aide, Sulaiman Idris, said in a statement on Friday that the gesture was the first of its kind in the state’s history.

According to the statement, the decision aligns with the Zamfara government’s commitment to workers’ welfare and motivating the workforce to perform well.
