In his remarks, Hafiz Abubakar, acting governor of the state, said paying salary of workers was not a privilege but an obligation, which the state had continued to meet.
He pointed out that the economic crunch had made it difficult for at least 28 states in the country to pay workers’ salary.
Abubakar said the state government was spending N62 million weekly for the feeding of boarding school students across the state.
He called on the people to continue to pray for peace, unity and progress in the country.
