Subsidy Removal: Gombe Govt Approves N10,000 Increment in Workers’ Salary

The Gombe State Government has announced an increment in workers’ salary by N10,000 across board to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.

Briefing newsmen in Gombe, the Deputy Governorr, Dr. Manassah Daniel Jatau said it was part of the measures taken by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya to reduce the economic impact of the subsidy removal on workers.

He said that Gov. Inuwa Yahaya is concerned about the welfare of civil servants and residents of the state through various interventions since the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said since the fuel subsidy removal, the state government had taken measures towards cushioning its effects on citizens of the state by distributing palliatives to 30,000 beneficiaries with the target of reaching out to 420 000 across the state.

According to him, the N10,000 is for both the state and the local government workers in the state, and it will take effect from August, 2023.

"We have also noted with sympathy the difficulties workers are passing through as a result of the economic meltdown and therefore decided to bring interventions by way of payment of N10,000 each on a monthly basis, effective from the month of August, 2023.

“This shall include all workers in the state and Local Government payrolls,” he said.

When asked how long the increment would last, he said the “N10, 000 does not have a time limit for now". 

The deputy governor commended the contributions of the workers in the state, describing it as the engine room of the administration and implementation of government policies.

Jatau urged the workers to reciprocate this gesture by being law-abiding and supporting policies and programmes of the government while urging other residents who were yet to benefit from the palliatives to be patient.

“I call on all residents of the state especially those who are yet to benefit from the palliatives to be patient as we shall continue to consider bringing more interventions in the nearest future within available resources,” he said.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
