Yobe State Governor Hon. Mai Mala Buni has officially approved a minimum wage of N70,000 for civil servants within the state, set to take effect from December 2024. This decision comes following the recommendations of a committee on minimum wage established by the state government.
Comrade Mohammed Mamman, the Director General of Press and Media Affairs to the Governor, shared that the approval is detailed in a memo signed by Governor Buni CON. The committee has advised a thorough reconciliation of local government finances to facilitate a smooth transition from the current salary framework to the newly established minimum wage.
