Kaduna Governor Approves N72,000 Minimum Wage, Launches Free Transport Scheme

By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

Governor Uba Sani has approved a new minimum wage of N72,000 for Kaduna State civil servants, effective from November 2024. This decision reflects his administration’s commitment to advancing the welfare of workers.

According to a statement from the Chief Press Secretary, Malam Ibraheem Musa, the wage increase aligns with “the advancement of workers’ interests and improvement of living conditions for the poor, vulnerable, and underserved in the state.”

The statement emphasized that the new wage policy also reflects Governor Sani’s long-standing dedication to promoting and protecting workers’ rights, enhancing their welfare, and supporting the disadvantaged.

In addition, the Governor plans to introduce a Free Transportation Scheme for civil servants, which includes 100 CNG-powered buses. These buses will transport civil servants to and from work, helping to alleviate commuting challenges and boost productivity.

A Joint Management Committee, comprising representatives from organized labor groups (NLC and TUC) and the State Government, will oversee the Free Transportation Scheme.

Governor Sani reaffirmed that “the Kaduna State Government will continue to develop and implement policies aimed at providing relief to the people.”

“We are dedicated to transforming the lives of the less privileged. With the sustained support of our citizens, we aim to make Kaduna State a model for social welfare interventions,” the statement concluded.
