Inuwa described this as “a bold and unprecedented move” to ease the financial burden on workers due to the rising cost of living.
The NLC chairman also commended the governor for consistently paying salaries and pensions and for clearing a ₦16 billion backlog of retirement benefits inherited from the previous administration.
He further noted that the recent increase in the minimum monthly pension from ₦5,000 to ₦20,000 demonstrates the governor’s respect for senior citizens.
Inuwa also pointed to the recruitment of teachers, approval of staff promotions, and investments in worker training as significant reforms that have revitalized Kano State’s civil service.
He stated that these achievements reflect the governor’s genuine concern for the workforce and have earned him their trust and support.
Concluding his address, Inuwa asked the workers if they would support the slogan “Allah ya maimaita” (meaning “May the Almighty repeat the administration”), signaling a strong endorsement from the labor community for Governor Yusuf’s re-election.
This endorsement signifies a major vote of confidence from workers in Kano, who celebrated what they see as a new era of inclusive and responsive governance.
