Workers said the state government appeared to have reverted to the old N18,000 minimum wage-based salary structure.
Civil servants in Kano State have expressed anger after the state government slashed their May salaries in what appeared to be an effect of the COVID-19 crisis.
The civil servants are lamenting the reduction, more so that there was no prior notice from the state government that their pay too would be cut.A state counsel in the state ministry of justice told PREMIUM TIMES that about N20,000 was deducted from her May salary. She said it appeared that the government has reverted to the old salary structure based on N18,000 minimum wage, instead of the current N30,000 minimum wage.
The story is also the same with workers in the state ministry of health as well as the academic staff of state-owned tertiary institutions.
