Yobe keeps mute on new minimum wage, as Borno constitutes committee

Gov. Mai Mala Buni

Despite plea by the APC National Chairman, comrade Adams Oshomole that all APC governor should pay the new minimum wage, Yobe State Government workers are anxiously expecting to hear from the state.

The Borno State government has however complied with the directives as the state has set up a committee for the consequential salary adjustment committee headed by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in the state.

Gov. Mai Mala had during his inauguration on May 29, 2019 promised to comply with any arrangement reached on the minimum wage and implement it hundred percent.

The State Accountant General, Alhaji Usman Bura had  earlier disclosed in an interview with journalists  that "Yobe State is in a very healthy financial state to pay the new minimum wage".

But the question on the lips of civil servants in the State is when will the implementation begin.

“The question we are asking is when will the state government begin the payment of the new minimum wage in the state. We have seeing Borno constitute a committee. We don’t even know what Labour in our state is doing. I think somebody need to say something,” Adamu Gwuyo, a civil servant asked.
