Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has approved the payment of N20,000 to civil servants across the state and local government areas as part of efforts to support workers ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued by Musa Tanko Muhammad, Press Secretary to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government. According to the statement, the gesture comes shortly after the payment of May 2026 salaries and is aimed at easing the financial burden many workers face during the festive period.

The financial support will benefit civil servants on Grade Levels 01 to 14 working in state ministries as well as local government councils across Kano State.

Muhammad explained that the initiative reflects Governor Yusuf’s commitment to the welfare and wellbeing of workers, whom he described as the backbone of the state’s public service. He noted that the intervention was introduced in response to the current economic challenges and the increased expenses usually associated with Sallah celebrations.

He added that the governor remains focused on implementing people-centered policies that promote inclusiveness and ensure no category of workers is neglected by the administration.
