The Kaduna State Government has disclosed plans
to review workers salaries to meet current
economic realities.
Speaking at an interactive session as part of the
2016 civil service week, the Head of Service, Mrs.
Alisabatu Dada-Onazi, said a consultant has
already been contracted to look at possible reform
in the states civil service.
She added that, “The State would soon come up
with a harmonised pay policy that will take
cognisance of all the various salary structures in
the state with a view to closing the existing salary
gap among workers.
"The workers verification exercise, which
commenced one year ago, was specifically meant
to ascertain the actual figure of workers in the
state, before any salary increment would be made,
and so far, 75, 000 staff have been successfully
verified and found to be genuine workers of the
state, while about 13, 3236 others were found with
various issues.
“Those with issues have been asked to write to the
state governor and attached all relevant documents
to prove they are genuine workers before their
name can be included in the state pay role. I assure
you that after cleansing the state’s pay role of ghost
workers, workers salary would be improved."
Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry
of Education, Science and Technology, Mohammed
Mansir said that the government has budgeted N15
billion for capital project in the education sector,
adding that public schools were currently being
renovated and equipped with furniture and other
interventions.
Similarly, his counterpart in the Ministry of
Environment, Hajiya Hauwa Umar said that N1.2
billion has been budgeted for management of solid
waste alone.
