‎“The decision was informed by the prevailing economic realities and the financial demands associated with festive periods. This support would enable workers to celebrate Eid with joy and comfort alongside their families,” the statement added.

Governor Yusuf also reiterated that the gesture aligns with his administration’s inclusive governance philosophy and its drive to ensure no segment of the workforce is left behind in people-oriented policies.

He reaffirmed his commitment to enhancing workers’ welfare, boosting productivity, and maintaining a motivated public service capable of delivering quality service to residents of the state.

The governor also extended Eid-el-Kabir greetings to civil servants and residents, praying for peace, unity, prosperity, and continued blessings for Kano State and Nigeria at large.
