Sokoto has officially announced the early disbursement of June salaries, providing much-needed relief.
The decision will alleviate the financial pressure faced by numerous civil servants in the lead-up to the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
It will benefit not only state and local government workers, and Local Government Education Authority (LGEA) staff but also pensioners across the state.

Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, Chief Press Secretary, in a statement, disclosed that the payment would commence on Monday, June 2.
He said Governor Aliyu, who is currently in Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage, urged civil servants to reciprocate the government’s goodwill by demonstrating greater dedication and commitment to their duties.

He reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to reinvigorating the state civil service, a move that will undoubtedly promote good governance and efficient service delivery.
Governor Aliyu gave assurance of providing greater benefits of democratic governance to the populace.
