Hmmmm.
I hear he's a very good leader and doing so well in the development of his dear state. If this is true, then, I must commend him for his developmental strides.

lol…that’s nice

Better late than never

Just imagine this

To fulfill its promises, the government has cleared over N10 billion in gratuities owed over the past 11 years,

And nobody among the retirees took the ex Governors to Sharia court?

I have even forgotten that a State like Kwara State exists.

Cute Governor. Edo state can only wish...

Noted.

Nice one

abia comes to my mind

Handsomeness and brilliance on point.

This is commendable. I hope it's sustainable.

Good for them.

Zamfara mines enough gold to zero all outstanding payments.


Next N.E.W.S, please

Wash

This is commendable.

Compared to what matawalle did to the state
A state receiving 18k as minimum wage before

A state without a meaningful industry
Farming is no longer possible because of bandits
Most of the staff are most petty traders, printers, civil servants or politicians

A nice one Lawal
Next would be to revitalise industries in the state

Commendable from Gov Lawal.

PDP govs have human sympathy, APC govs are very wicked set of people, from T-pain down to even Akpabio

Payment of 13th month pay in 30% of Basic salary, as end of year 2024 bonus. The governor is overhype by paying 30% of basic salary which is very minimal compare to monthly security allocation given to him on monthly basis. Let do small, layman calculation: Level 10 civil servant total package is around 250K broken down to basic salary should be 100K and Zamfara pays 30K which makes the total package to 280K with all hyping.

December bonus

Oh OK, thanks

At least Tinubu pushed you all to up your game. Left alone these governors were not interested in increasing the minimum wage apart from LAGOS gov.
If inflation can go down then Nigeria workers will be grateful to tinubu istration
