Bauchi Governor To Pay Leave Grant To Local Government Workers

The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Muhammad, says his administration would pay the leave grant of local government civil servants as it was done for state workers.
The governor stated this at the Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar Hajj Camp where he hosted top civil servants, leadership of organised labour as well as other stakeholders for Ramadan.
He said his administration had been doing its best to ensure the welfare and well-being of civil servants through the prompt payment of salaries and would sustain it for productivity in the system.
According to him, the government and people of Bauchi State appreciated the dedication, zeal and commitment of the workforce, describing them as the engine room for execution of meaningful projects for development.
On the number of challenges in the civil service, the governor expressed concern on the ongoing fraudulent activities in the system especially the ghost worker syndrome despite the relentless efforts of his administration to tackle the issue.
In a remark, the Head of Civil Service, Yahuza Adamu commended the governor for improving the working and living condition of the civil servants in the State through renovations of offices in MDAs as well as prompt payment of salary in the State.
He, therefore, urged the civil servants to replicate the gesture by supporting the implementation of policies and programmes of the present administration in the State.
