Governor Dauda Lawal’s spokesman, Sulaiman Bala Idris, explained that the initiative is meant to provide workers with extra financial support during the holiday season. This is the second time such a payment has been approved in Zamfara’s history, following a similar gesture last year under Governor Lawal’s leadership.

The governor’s administration has also taken other steps to support workers, including clearing ₦10 billion in unpaid gratuities from the past 11 years, approving a new minimum wage of ₦70,000, and ensuring salaries are paid promptly. These efforts aim to empower workers and boost the state’s economy.
