Governor Abba Yusuf has approved a N20,000 Eid-el-Kabir goodwill package for civil servants across Kano State and its 44 local government areas as part of efforts to support workers ahead of the festive season.
The approval was disclosed in a statement issued on Tuesday by Musa Tanko-Muhammad, Press Secretary to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government.
According to the statement, the gesture is intended to ease the financial burden on workers as Muslims prepare to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.
The intervention will benefit civil servants on Grade Levels 01 to 14 in state ministries, departments, agencies, and local government councils across the state.
The development comes shortly after the payment of May salaries to workers in the state and local government service.
Governor Yusuf said the initiative reflects his administration’s commitment to the welfare and wellbeing of workers, whom he described as the backbone of the state’s public service.
