Kano Govt Announces ₦20,000 Sallah Bonus for Workers

The Kano State Government has approved a ₦20,000 Sallah welfare package for civil servants ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued by the Press Secretary to the Secretary to the State Government, Musa Tanko-Muhammad, who said the gesture is intended to ease financial pressure on workers during the festive period.

According to the statement, the package will benefit employees on Grade Levels 01 to 14 across state ministries, departments, agencies, and all 44 local government councils in Kano.

Governor Abba Yusuf said the approval reflects his administration’s commitment to improving workers’ welfare and recognising their contributions to public service.

He noted that the rising cost of living and increased spending associated with festive periods informed the decision to provide additional support for workers and their families.

The announcement comes shortly after the payment of May salaries to state and local government employees.

Governor Yusuf also reiterated his administration’s commitment to policies aimed at improving productivity, strengthening the civil service, and promoting the wellbeing of workers across the state.

He further extended Eid-el-Kabir greetings to residents of Kano, while praying for peace, unity and continued progress in the state and across Nigeria.
