Buni approves N70,000 minimum wage for Yobe workers
Yobe state governor, MaiMala Buni, has approved the N70,000 minimum wage for workers in the civil service of the state.
According to him, the payment of the new minimum wage takes effect on December 1, 2024.
The Director General, Press and Media Affairs, Mamman Mohammed, stated on Saturday in Damaturu: “The minimum wage committee recommended a reconciliation of local government finances,” adding that this will ensure a hitch-free transition process of 17 local councils from the existing salary structure to the new minimum wage.
“The reconciliation process is expected to be concluded for approvals and eventual enrolment of council employees into the minimum wage.”.
Buni, therefore, expected the civil servants in the state to reciprocate government gestures by ensuring an effective and efficient service delivery to the people.
