Ganduje, Bello, others ready To Pay N30,000 As Minimum Wage

The Government of Kano State has restated its commitment to pay the new minimum wage of N30,000 with additional N600 and Niger state governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, on Tuesday reassured the state chapter of the organised labour of his readiness to pay the new minimum wage, just as he pledged that welfare of the state workforce remain his major priority.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje disclosed this when members of the Nigeria Labour Congress staged a peaceful protest at the government house on Tuesday in Kano.

He said that his administration has given priority to the welfare of civil servants in the state.

Represented by his Deputy, Alhaji Nasiru Gawuna, he said that Kano state was among the few States in the country that pays monthly salary on time.

“We are ready to pay N30,000 monthly salary because the welfare of our workers is paramount to anything and we will always give it preference.

“We will pay the N30,600 as soon as all processes are completed,” he added.

Ganduje then urged ‎women and youths to stay away from drug abuse due to their harmful effects.‎

‎”Our women, particularly married women and youths must say no to drug abuse and addiction. They should stop abusing it because it will ultimately damage their systems and cut short their lives,” he warned.‎

‎Earlier, the NLC Chairman in the state, Mr Kabiru Minjibir, commended the governor for his commitment to pay the minimum wage of N30,600.‎

‎”We are not surprised by this kind gesture taking into consideration your labour friendly disposition.
