Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni has announced a significant pay increase for state civil servants. Effective December 2024, the minimum wage will be raised to ₦70,000.
The decision follows a recommendation from a state government committee tasked with reviewing the minimum wage. To ensure a smooth transition, particularly for local government employees, the government is currently reconciling local government finances. This process is nearing completion and is expected to be finalized soon.
Governor Buni urged civil servants to reciprocate this gesture by committing to delivering high-quality public services.
