Governor Babagana Zulum has approved the payment of December salary to civil servants in Borno state.

Zulum said all workers should have a sense of belonging during and after the yuletide.

The governor’s Spokesperson, Dauda Illiya, made this known in a statement issued on Saturday, December 14.

As reported by The Punch, Illiya disclosed that Governor Zulum approved the December salary payment on Friday, December 13, 2024.

“Governor Zulum directed as usual that no affected Christians, Muslims, and others should while away their time without feeling a sense of belonging during and after the yuletide, considering the multi-inclusivity and socio-cultural togetherness that exists between the peaceful people of Borno, especially at this period”.

He explained that the early December salary payment will enable residents to prepare and celebrate the yuletide season without financial hindrance.

Illiya added that the decision aligns with Governor Zulum’s dedication to fostering inclusivity.
