Governor Mukhtar Yero of Kaduna State has expressed appreciation to civil servants in the state for their support to his administration in the last two and half years.
In a statement by his media aide, Mr Ahmed Maiyaki, on Thursday in Kaduna, Yero also congratulated the workers for this year’s Workers Day.
“I salute the courage and patriotic commitment of majority of our workers to moving Kaduna State forward.”
The governor said in the statement that his administration was pleased to have sustained a period of cordial industrial relations with the workers.
“We are grateful to all labour unions for cooperating with us in ensuring that Kaduna State is free of strikes by workers.”
Yero said that in the last two years, the government had continued to ensure improved welfare for all its workforce.
“Salaries are always paid as at when due; allowances are paid and we also settled pension and gratuity arrears that accumulated since 2006, amounting to over N17 billion.”
The statement wished all workers peaceful celebrations.
