The Katsina state government has said that civil servants and political office holders will contribute part of their salaries to support the victims of the Katsina Central Market fire disaster.
The State Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Bar. Ahmad El-marzuq, disclosed this on Thursday while briefing journalists.
He said the decision was reached at the state executive council meeting, chaired by Governor Aminu Bello Masari, after the review of the whitepaper of the committee on the market inferno.
El-marzuq said three percent will be deducted from the salaries of civil servants from grade level 01 to 14, while 20 percent will be deducted from governor’s salaries and that of the members of the executive council.
