Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has approved a special goodwill package of N20,000 for civil servants across the state and the 44 local government areas ahead of the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
The intervention, announced shortly after the successful payment of May 2026 salaries, is targeted at workers on Grade Levels 01 to 14 in state ministries and local government councils.
The gesture, according to the government, is part of efforts to cushion the economic hardship faced by workers and enable them to celebrate the Sallah season with ease alongside their families.
In a statement issued on Monday by the Press Secretary to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Musa Tanko Muhammad, the initiative reflects Governor Yusuf’s commitment to the welfare and well-being of civil servants in the state.
The statement noted that the administration considered it necessary to provide additional financial relief in view of the prevailing economic realities and the increased demands associated with festive periods.
It added that the package further demonstrates the government’s inclusive governance policy and determination to ensure that workers continue to benefit from people-oriented programs and policies.
Governor Yusuf reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving workers’ welfare, enhancing productivity, and sustaining a motivated public service capable of delivering efficient services to the people of Kano State.
He also extended Eid-el-Kabir greetings to civil servants and residents of the state, praying for peace, unity, prosperity, and continued blessings for Kano State and Nigeria as a whole.
