The Governor of Sokoto State, Ahmed Aliyu, has approved the payment of June salary to workers in the state beginning from Monday.

The gesture is to ensure that workers in the state celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir comfortably.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Abubakar Bawa on Sunday said the payment covered every level of workers in the state.

The statement reads partly, “The payment covers state civil servants, local governments and local government education authority.

“It also includes pensioners across the state.”

The statement further conveyed the governor’s wishes to the entire Muslim  Ummah for a hitch-free Eid-el-Kabir.
