A Sallah gift of N10, 000 to all categories of civil servants in the state and local government services has been approved by the governor of Bauchi State, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed to cushion the economic hardship during the Sallah celebration.

“In his continuing efforts aimed at improving the welfare of the civil servants in Bauchi state, Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed has directed the immediate payment of Ten Thousand Naira (N10,000.00) to all categories of civil servants in both the state and local”, the head of service (HoS), Yahuza Adamu Haruna said.

In a press statement signed by the permanent secretary of establishment, Mohammed Sani Umar and made available to journalists yesterday, he said as a wage award, the gesture would provide additional resources to civil servants to celebrate the Eid-el-Fitr in high spirits, in the wake of the unpalatable economic situation generally.

Adamu expressed gratitude to the governor for his numerous supports and urged the workers to reciprocate the gesture by re-dedicating themselves to their duties with a view to improving and consolidating on the gains made so far.
