Governor Uba Sani has announced the approval of a new minimum wage of N72,000 for civil servants in Kaduna State, effective November 2024. This decision reflects his administration’s commitment to advancing the interests of workers and improving the living conditions of the poor, vulnerable, and underserved populations in the state.
In a statement released by Malam Ibraheem Musa, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, it was emphasized that this decision is part of Governor Uba Sani’s lifelong commitment to promoting and protecting workers’ rights and enhancing their welfare.
The statement further noted that Governor Sani is set to launch a Free Transportation Scheme for civil servants, which will involve the release of 100 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses. These buses will provide transportation for civil servants to and from work, aiming to alleviate their suffering and enhance productivity.
To ensure effective implementation of the Free Transportation Scheme, a Joint Management Committee will be established, comprising representatives from organized labor (NLC and TUC) and the State Government.
Governor Uba Sani reiterated the Kaduna State Government’s commitment to implementing policies and measures that provide support to the less privileged, promising to transform Kaduna State into a model for social welfare interventions.
