The Yobe State Government on Wednesday began the early payment of March 2026 salaries to civil servants, aimed at easing preparations for the forthcoming Eid al-Fitr celebrations.
Governor Mai Mala Buni approved the initiative, while the Ministry of Finance confirmed that payments had been processed and sent to banks.
A statement by the government’s Digital and Strategic Communications unit on Wednesday said the move was intended to support workers during the festive period.
“This proactive measure is aimed at enabling workers and their families to prepare adequately and celebrate the forthcoming Eid-el-Fitr with ease and dignity,” the statement read.
The government said the early payment reflects its focus on workers’ welfare, noting that salaries have been paid regularly since the current administration took office.
It also highlighted that salary payments have continued alongside the execution of projects across key sectors.
“Yobe State Government has sustained this record while simultaneously executing impactful development projects across key sectors, including healthcare, education, infrastructure, and agriculture,” it said.
