Governor Zulum Approves Workers May Salaries Early For Sallah Preparations

In order to ensure that Muslims in the state prepare early enough for sallah celebrations, Govenor Babagana Zulum of Borno State, has approved the immediate release of salaries and pensions.

Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in the state, Comrade Bulama Abiso, disclosed this on Friday to the state workers.

According to a statement on the facebook page of the governor, Abiso noted that the payment was intended to prevent rush preparations that could “expose workers to demand-triggered inflation in cost of food, clothing and services.”

Abiso was noted to have said: “The NLC in Borno State is happy with Governor Zulum’s tradition of consistency in payment of salaries, pensions and gratuities of retired workers. The NLC is particularly happy with the Governor’s compassionate approvals for early release of salaries in the middle of December ahead of last Christmas, in the middle of April ahead of Ramadan and now at the middle of May ahead of Sallah. All of these show the Governor’s high degree of respect for workers and compassion for retirees, for which the NLC commend Governor Zulum and urges workers to rededicate themselves to lawful duties in the best interest of the public.”
