In a drive to ensure good governance, Zamfara State Executive Governor, Dauda Lawal (PhD), has graciously approved the payment of 13th month pay in 30% of Basic salary, as end of year 2024 bonus. Zamfara state public servants including retirees, will receive this bonus. The state government has also cleared over N10 billion in gratuities owed over the past 11 years, as well as approved the N70,000 minimum wage.

The Zamfara State Government has approved the payment of a 13th-month salary to all its civil servants.

The approval was communicated through a circular issued on December 28, 2024, by the Zamfara State Head of Service.

This marks the second time in Zamfara’s history that a 13th-month salary has been paid, with the first implemented under Governor Lawal’s administration last December.

In a statement released on Monday, Governor Dauda Lawal’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, announced that civil and public servants, including retirees, will receive a bonus of 30% of their basic salary as the 13th-month salary.

According to the statement:
“This initiative acknowledges the dedication and hard work of the Zamfara workforce by providing them with extra financial support during the holiday season.

“The 13th-month salary payment initiative is one of several measures designed to empower workers and foster economic growth in Zamfara State.

“To fulfill its promises, the government has cleared over N10 billion in gratuities owed over the past 11 years, approved a new minimum wage of N70,000, and ensured workers’ salaries are paid on time.”

Hmmmm.
I hear he's a very good leader and doing so well in the development of his dear state. If this is true, then, I must commend him for his developmental strides.

Can someone please be kind enough to help me with something? Since daybreak, we've had nothing to eat. There's almost no hope.
