Sallah: Adamawa govt to delay workers’ June salary
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa has asked for an understanding of the state’s civil servants over the delay in paying June’s salary.
In a statement on Saturday, the governor’s media aide, Humwashi Wonosikou, said the delay would ensure that workers celebrate Sallah comfortably.
“Because of the upcoming Sallah celebration, expected on July 10, salary will be paid at the end of the month just in time for the Sallah festivities.
“This is to ensure the people celebrate comfortably as Sallah is around the corner, I assure you that salaries would be paid by the end of this month,” he said.
He said Mr Fintiri’s administration was keeping with its tradition of prompt payment of salaries on the 23rd or 24th day of every month, adding that the government would not renege.
Mr Wonosikou appreciated civil servants for their patience and understanding, as the delay is to enable them to celebrate Sallah without challenge.
