The Kano state government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to pay 20 thousand naira in wage awards to all state workers and 15 thousand naira to pensioners.
Chairman of the TUC, Mubarak Yarima, who confirmed this to journalists, said the memorandum of understanding signed is part of the government’s effort to offer palliatives in order to reduce the economic challenges experienced by civil servants in the state following the removal of the fuel subsidy.
Yarima further stated that the agreement will continue until a comprehensive review of the minimum wage is undertaken within the next six months.
