Yuletide: Borno gov approves December salary payment

The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has approved the payment of December salary to all civil servants on the state government’s payroll.

In a statement released on Saturday by the governor’s Spokesperson, Dauda Illiya, the governor approved the payment on Friday, December 13, 2024.

According to the statement, “Governor Zulum directed as usual that no affected Christians, Muslims and others should while away their time without feeling a sense of belonging during and after the yuletide, considering the multi-inclusivity and socio- cultural togetherness that exists between the peaceful people of Borno, especially at this period”.

“The Governor’s directive for early disbursement this December aligns with his dedication to fostering inclusivity and enabling all residents to prepare for and celebrate the yuletide season without financial hindrance.”

The statement, however, noted that the essence is to help Christians and other faithful prepare for a better yuletide on time.

“His Excellency, Professor Babagana Zulum has done it again, as 2024 December credit alerts for salaries and pensions have started hitting accounts of beneficiaries to ensure Christians and other faithful prepare for a better yuletide on time”. It said

The statement added that Zulum appealed to beneficiaries to continue praying for peace in Borno State and the nation at large while acknowledging the positive impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda on the lives of Borno’s citizens and beyond.
