Yobe: Gov Buni approves N70,000 minimum wage
Governor Mai Mala Buni has approved the payment of N70,000 new minimum wage for Yobe civil servants.
Mr Buni, in a statement on Saturday, said the payment would take effect from December.
According to the statement, the approval was announced in a memo signed by the governor, following recommendations by a committee on the minimum wage earlier constituted by the state government.
“The committee had recommended a reconciliation of local government finances to ensure a hitch-free transition process of the local government councils from the existing salary structure to the new minimum wage.
“The reconciliation process, which is nearing completion, is expected to be concluded soon for approval and quick enrolment of the local government employees into the new minimum wage salary structure,” he said.
The aide said the state government expected civil servants to reciprocate the gesture by doing their best to achieve effective service delivery.
