On the 19th of January 2021, barely two days after the local government election in Kano state, the state government made a rather not too palatable pronouncement, ordering all civil servants in the state to sit at home: in their own presumably proactive measure to curb the spread of covid-19 in the state. The state government made this know to the general public via all media houses in the state.

This step taken by the state government did not go down well with the state as those in the judiciary, the media houses, medical practitioners, law enforcement agencies in the state and few others were allowed to keep going to the office. To many civil servants, this move by the Kano State government sound suspicious as it came at a time when the state government allegedly made it known to the public that it could no longer pay the already agreed thirty thousand naira minimum wage to the civil servants.
