Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has approved the immediate implementation of promotion benefits and payment of leave grants to civil servants across the state.

After consultations with labour leaders and other stakeholders, Governor Zulum approved the immediate implementation of promotional benefits for all civil servants for the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 sessions.

In a related development, Governor Zulum constituted a task force, headed by the Commissioner for Local Government and Emirate Affairs, Sugun Mele, to review and propose strategies for implementing the new salary scale and gratuity scheme for local government employees in the state.
The task force was directed to consult relevant stakeholders, review existing regulations, assess the local government workforce and identify viable and sustainable options for implementing the enhanced salary structure across the state.
The committee is expected to submit its report within two weeks for consideration and possible implementation.
Governor Zulum also directed the directorate of establishment to prepare a blueprint for new employment and recruitment into the state civil service.
The proposed recruitment plan is expected to be based on a review of the existing workforce, gap analysis and assessment of staffing needs, particularly in critical professions affected by retirements and the loss of skilled personnel.
The development was announced by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Prof. Usman Tar.
