Governor Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa State
Governor Muhammadu Jibrilla of Adamawa says
governors should not be blamed for the problem of non
payment of workers salary in many states in the
federation.
Jibrilla was speaking Thursday when he received
traditional rulers who paid him sallah homage at
government house in Yola.
Jibrilla said the dwindling revenue from the federation
account has made it extremely difficult for states to pay
salary.
While noting that Adamawa was one of the states that is
steady in paying workers salary, Jibrilla said that
workers in the state needed to appreciate the
government for its effort in paying them salary as at
when due.
The governor urged traditional rulers to enlighten the
people on peaceful coexistence and the need to go back
to farm.
He said Adamawa was among the seven states selected
for Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) Anchor Borrower’s
Rice production programme.
Jibrilla assured them on government’s commitment to
provide fertilizer to farmers.
In their separate responses, the Lamido of Adamawa,
Alhaji Barkindo Mustafa and Emir of Mubi, Alhaji
Abubakar Isa, lauded the governor for his effort to
transform the state and assured him of the traditional
rulers council support.
