Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has announced that the state will commence payment of the new minimum wage starting this month.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on New Media, Abdulrahman Bundi, in a Facebook post on Thursday, said, Zulum convened a meeting with the state minimum wage implementation committee, where he directed that civil servants be paid the new national wage.

He said, “The meeting was held in Maiduguri on Monday at the council chamber of the government house.”

In another development, Bundi reported that Governor Zulum has approved the release of N3bn to pay entitlements for families of deceased civil servants in Borno State.

He also made a symbolic cheque presentation to the Nigerian Union of Pensioners.

“Governor Zulum also assured that he would clear the backlog of gratuities owed and ensure an upward review of monthly payments of pensions in the state,” he added.
