Sokoto Government Clarifies Civil Servants’ June Salary Deduction

By Muhammad Ibrahim, Sokoto

The Sokoto State Government has clarified that only one-third of the June 2025 salary was deducted from civil servants’ pay as part of a previously approved repayment plan for a soft loan.

It will be recalled that in May, the state government paid full salaries to civil servants, local government workers, and pensioners ahead of the Eid El-Kabir celebration. The payment was later converted into a soft loan, repayable over three months, to ease financial burdens during the festive season.

In a statement issued by the State Accountant General, Umar B. Ahmad Tambuwal, the government explained that civil servants received their full gross salaries for June without deductions from any financial institutions. However, one-third of the May salary—now treated as a loan—was deducted, with the remaining two-thirds scheduled for recovery in July and August.

Tambuwal noted that the clarification became necessary to address public concerns over the June salary deductions.

The Governor of Sokoto State, Ahmed Aliyu, had earlier directed the immediate payment of June salaries to all state and local government employees, including retirees, beginning June 30, 2025.

Governor Aliyu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of civil servants and revitalizing the public service. He urged workers to reciprocate the government’s goodwill with improved dedication, punctuality, and discipline in their duties.
