The Commissioner for Information and Culture, Mahmud Dantawasa, said the move is part of ongoing reforms to strengthen public service welfare in the state.
Funds for the payment are expected to be released soon, with payments to be made in two batches, according to an official government statement
It adds that it is a key component of Governor Dauda Lawal’s Rescue Mission Agenda, which prioritizes workers’ welfare, fiscal responsibility, and social justice.
