The Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has said he will deduct 10 per cent from civil servants salaries to repair schools destroyed by Boko Haram, to uplift Yobe State education sector.
Addressing journalists on Monday in Damaturu, The Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and Culture, Muhammad Lamin, noted the decision was taken to encourage collective effort to avert educational decay.
“Apart from reaching out to people outside government, we feel that civil servants in the state should also give their modest contribution to the programme by contributing 10 per cent of their November basic salary. By this briefing, therefore, civil servants are informed that the deduction will be for only the month of November 2021.
“In this regard, the government is appealing to civil servants in the state to heartily support the government in her bid to rescue our state from the catastrophe of educational decay,” he said.
Buni had, on November 9, 2021, inaugurated a 21-member State Education Appeal Fund Raising Committee to mobilise funds to revitalise the education sector.
