Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has approved the payment of the 13th-month salary to the state’s civil and public servants.
The approval was communicated in a circular issued on the 28th of December 2024 by the office of the Zamfara State Head of Service.
“Zamfara civil and public servants, including retirees, will receive a bonus of 30 per cent of their basic salary as the 13th-month salary,” the statement disclosed.
The 13th-month salary payment, according to the governor’s spokesman, Sulaiman Bala Idris, is one of several ideas to empower workers and foster economic growth in the state.
He also disclosed that the government has cleared over N10 billion in gratuities owed over the past 11 years, approved a minimum wage of N70,000, and ensured workers’ salaries were paid on time.
