The Gombe government will pay the new national minimum wage of N70,000 to its workers, Deputy Governor Manassah Jatau has announced.
“In 2024, our focus will be on building a Gombe state that leaves no one behind,” said the governor.
The Gombe government has paid about N33 billion from the N100 billion debt inherited from the administration of former Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo.
“We have not bothered ourselves about the case in the first place because it lacked focus, merit and moral standing, and we refused to be distracted by it in any way.”
In March, the state government shut down all private health colleges over a lack of accreditation and registration.
