Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Tuesday approved the payment of N1.382 billion end of year bonus to civil servants in the state.
Civil servants will this month receive bonuses ranging from 100 percent of monthly pay for junior civil servants to 30 percent for senior civil servants.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor (Media and Communication), Muyiwa Adekeye, on Tuesday said the end of year bonus is part of the state government’s efforts to boost morale and enhance the welfare of civil servants.
Under the scheme, workers from Grade Levels 1-7 will be paid 100 percent of their monthly salary as bonus. Middle level civil servants from Grade Level 8-13 will get 40 percent, while senior officers on Grade Level 14 and above will receive 30 percent of their monthly earnings.
In September 2019, the Kaduna State Government became the first government, national or subnational, to pay the new national minimum wage. The state also increased the minimum pension to N30,000 monthly for retirees on defined benefit.
