Spread the wordThe Kebbi state governor, Nasir Idris, Monday, said he has maintained prudent financial management and discipline that will enable the administration to pay workers’ salaries and pensions for five consecutive months without reliance on funds from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC). He stated this in Birnin Kebbi at the opening of the health workers summit organised by the Kebbi state Assembly of Health Workers. “My administration has significantly improved the health sector as well as implemented the new consolidated salary structure for doctors and health workers. “With or without funds from the FAAC, I will be able to pay salaries and pensions for five straight months, because my administration has maintained prudent financial management and discipline. “After negotiations on the new minimum wage between the Labour and the federal government, Kebbi state under my administration will be among frontline states to effect payment.”
