The Yobe State Government has commenced the early payment of March 2026 salaries to civil servants, a move aimed at helping workers and their families prepare for the upcoming Eid al-Fitr festivities.
Governor Mai Mala Buni approved the initiative, with the Ministry of Finance confirming that payments have been processed and credited to banks.
According to a statement on Wednesday from the government’s Digital and Strategic Communications unit, the early disbursement is part of a broader effort to support workers during the festive period.
“This proactive measure is aimed at enabling workers and their families to prepare adequately and celebrate the forthcoming Eid-el-Fitr with ease and dignity,” the statement read.
The government also highlighted that this reflects its commitment to civil servants’ welfare, noting that salaries have been paid regularly since the current administration took office.

The initiative, officials say, underscores the government’s focus on prudent financial management, transparency, and improving the standard of living for residents of Yobe State.
