The Zamfara State Government has taken steps to address the long-standing issue of civil servants not receiving financial benefits for promotions they earned over the past three decades. Head of Service Malam Yakubu Sani Haidara officially launched two committees to tackle these issues. One committee, composed of 14 members, will be responsible for ensuring that eligible civil servants receive their deserved promotion benefits as per the Public Service Rules.
The other committee, made up of 11 members, will oversee the rationalized redeployment of staff from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. During the inauguration of these committees in Gusau, Haidara expressed concern over civil servants who went without the financial rewards of their promotions for an extended period, which negatively impacted their welfare and motivation.
By addressing this issue, the government aims to boost morale, commitment, and productivity within the state civil service. Haidara also thanked Governor Dauda Lawal for approving the establishment of these committees, describing it as a crucial move to resolve long-standing challenges faced by civil servants.
