Kebbi State Government, says the payment of March salary and pension to workers will not suffer in spite of the global economic downturn arising from the coronavirus pandemic.

The Governor was optimistic that the government would settle all liabilities of serving and retired civil servants as he has promised. He made it clear that the situation has become worrisome because the state relied heavily on federation allocation without major source of internally generated revenue.

Earlier speaking the Secretary to the State Government Alhaji Babale Umar Yauri explained that the emergency meeting was convened to discuss issues of economic downturn in the world with its effect on Nigeria and Kebbi state, also to examined the current health matters relating to Corona Virus pandemic and strategies to safeguard its spread to Kebbi state among other things.

The Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Alhaji Hassan Muhammad Shalla expressed fears about possible deficit in the statutory financial obligation of local government councils as a result of impending global economic crisis brought about by Covid-19 pandemic. He said government must look inwards even if it means suspending salary of workers to attend to pressing emergency matters to safe the people.

Where is this coming from?

Stop misleading headlines,,,, d news is about just a state...

March electricity bill be paid but subsequent one is uncertain.

The most irresponsible statement from a government official. Because of Covid19 now their subsequent salary is uncertain? While other countries are cushioning the effect. Cant you deplate the foreign reserve and care 4 your citizens instead of speaking this rubbish out. Nonsense

Please oo, don't carry our January salary and play oo.

Awon weere alaso

You can imagine when other leaders across the world are looking out for palliative measure for their people, see what our Nigeria governor is talking about. Lord have mercy on our leaders

Na wah oh......so dey embezzled as dey r seeing d money.........God will punish all dis useless leaders

This country is just a joke, out leaders are the comedians

This guy isn't talking about survival of the people

Una dey mad

MCtopiano

Senseless leaders .. US is giving $1k to each citizen, here they are planning not too pay April salaries.. Coro hug una der .

What a Government,when others are giving in incentives and trying to make things easier for their citizens,too bad😐

Will the government officials too be among those that will not receive subsequent monthly salary

See Nigeria see chaos greater than Covid 19

Stupid set of ppl

Well, Soon una go dey six feet under the ground 😆 So don't pay

He doesn't even know if he is the next to test positive to the virus. Would Bauchi State Governnor not mind to even pay the remaining months ahead if that would heal him of the virus. They still don't understand that God is actually paying all of them back. 'Awon a lai mo kan'.

Why ?

Who's this one bikonu

In USA, individuals are going to receive $1200 and couples $2400and an additional $500 for each child, meanwhile Nigeria is promising March salaries. Chineke

They have seen the closest excuse to grab on why they can't pay salaries

Corona virus must stay at aso rock, national assembly and some confuse scam governor houses in Nigeria, so they can enjoy the well equipped hospital we have in Nigeria

Pure madness and completely unacceptable! When are we going to have administrators that will dedicate their years in office on ways to break even as a state rather than waiting on the federal government monthly?! God help us...
