This decision was outlined in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Bala Ibrahim, in Dutse on Saturday. Ibrahim expressed the government’s serious concern over a statement circulating in various media outlets, which claimed that the governor had approved the N70,000 minimum wage for state workers.
He emphasized that the announcement was both embarrassing and premature, noting that the committee, led by the Head of the State Civil Service, tasked with advising on the appropriate wage, had not yet completed its work or submitted its report.
In response to this situation, the governor has ordered Ado’s immediate suspension while an investigation is conducted by a committee chaired by the State Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Bello Abdulkadir. This committee has been given two weeks to investigate the origin and content of the alleged statement and to determine the motives behind it.
The committee will also include the Commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports and Culture, Sagir Musa; Commissioner for Health, Dr. Abdullahi Muhammad; and the Permanent Secretary of Establishment and Service Matters in the Office of the SSG, Muhammad Hahaha.
