Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano“I can confirm to you that I have received alert for my November salary. I am very glad that the N72,000 minimum wage as recently promised by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf reflected on my November salary,” one civil servant told PM News Nigeria on Wednesday.
However, Governor Abba Kabir acknowledged the financial constraints of the new minimum wage, including the low Internally Generated Revenue he inherited, stating that his government inherited an average monthly IGR of N2 billion, lamenting that by comparison, states such as Lagos generate an average of N54.3 billion, Rivers N14.5 billion, Ogun N10.1 billion, and Delta N7.1 billion.
On his coming to power, Governor Abba ensured that the government engaged the Nigerian Medical Association in constant dialogue to improve their situation. This singular act prevented the Kano health sector from total collapse, the situation today is not as desired, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. With Governor Abba’s exemplary leadership, the system is seeing a massive upgrade, and it will be a point of replication for other states in years to come.
According to Chairman of the NLC in Kano, Comrade Kabiru A. Inuwa, Governor Yusuf has maintained strong commitment to fair compensation for workers and fostering an environment conducive to productivity and economic growth. While civil servants were rejoicing over this significant increment, our senior citizens, the pensioners also joined them in the celebration as Governor Yusuf has also implemented an increment in the minimum payment for pensioners in the state from 5000 naira to 20,000 naira. In the context of Kano and the dark times that the senior citizens lived between 2015-2023, this must have felt like a raindrop in the middle of a scorching drought.
