Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has flagged off the implementation of N500million revolving loans for civil servants.
The governor who symbolically presented the loans dummy cheques to some of the workers at the May Day celebration amidst cheers, said more economic empowerment initiatives will soon be unfolded for workers of the state.
The governor further assured labour unions that the state government under his leadership will continue to prioritize workers’ welfare and equip them appropriately within available resources, noting that a committed and motivated workforce is critical to the achievement of his administration’s Rural Transformation Agenda.
Speaking on the theme of this year’s May Day celebration, which is ‘People First:, Sani said, development is about the people, just as governance is also about the people.
He disclosed that governors under the Nigeria Governors’ Forum were in consultation with the labour unions at the Federal and State levels, in order to come up with a decent and acceptable salary increase for state and local government workers.
