The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has approved a special Eid-el-Kabir goodwill package of N20,000 for civil servants across the state and the 44 local government areas.
The approval was contained in a statement issued by the Press Secretary to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Musa Tanko Muhammad, in Kano.

The Governor noted that the decision was informed by the current economic realities and the financial demands associated with festive periods, stressing that the support would help workers celebrate the Eid festivities with comfort and renewed hope alongside their families.
He reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to continue implementing people-oriented policies aimed at improving workers’ welfare, boosting productivity, and sustaining an efficient public service.
