Zamfara State Government Vows To Pay Three Months’ Salary Arrears, Denies Sacking 1,700 Workers

This was contained in a press statement issued on Wednesday by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Mallam Abubakar Nakwada, after the executive members of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, in the State paid him a congratulatory visit over his new appointment.

Nakwada further stated that the state government decided only to reverse the appointment of 14 permanent secretaries made by the immediate past administration of Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle shortly after the gubernatorial election in the state.

He berated mischief makers, who are mainly from the opposition party, and urged them to accept defeat and allow the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal to concentrate on repositioning the state from the mess, misrule and bad governance of APC administration in the state.
