Governor Uba Sani has announced a new minimum wage of N72,000 for Kaduna State civil servants, with effect from November 2024.
This development was made public in a statement issued by Malam Ibraheem Musa, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.
According to him, the decision is in line with the governor’s commitment to the advancement of workers’ interests and improvement of living conditions for the poor, vulnerable, and underserved in Kaduna State.
The statement added that the decision also aligns with Sani’s lifelong commitment to promoting workers’ rights, enhancing welfare, and caring for the poor and weak.
“Additionally, Governor Uba Sani is set to launch a Free Transportation Scheme for civil servants with the release of 100 CNG buses. The buses will convey civil servants to and from work, aimed at alleviating workers’ suffering and enhancing productivity.
A Joint Management Committee consisting of representatives from organized labor (NLC and TUC) and the State Government will be set up to manage the Free Transportation Scheme for civil servants,” the statement added.
The governor promised that the Kaduna State Government would continue to fashion and implement policies and measures to bring succor to the people.
“We are committed to transforming the lives of the less privileged. With the sustained support of our citizens, we shall make Kaduna State a model for social welfare interventions,” the statement said.
