In a statement by the spokesperson for the Governor, Sulaiman Bala Idris, revealed that implementing the minimum wage reflects the state government’s commitment to improving workers’ welfare.

According to the statement, the State Government will start paying a minimum wage of (30,000) thirty thousand Naira instead of seven thousand Naira (7,000) effective June this year.

While addressing the leaders of the Zamfara State chapters of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), Governor Lawal reiterated that, implementing the thirty thousand Naira minimum wage is aimed at motivating Zamfara workers.

“Since assuming office as the governor of Zamfara State, my administration has implemented numerous civil service reforms to ensure workers’ welfare.

“We have achieved the payment of withheld three months salaries of workers, payment of leave grant, and other bonuses.

Governor Dauda further explain that, his government has paid a total of N4,337,087,490 billion in four batches to state and local government retirees, which have not been paid since 2011.

He added that, there are plans to improve the efficiency of the civil service in the State, adding that, no employee should be concerned about retirement, as we will ensure timely payment of retirement benefits without any delays as we are committed to our rescue mission.
