A total of 650 local government workers have been recalled by the Zamfara State Government, after a verification exercise across the state. The reinstatement was with immediate effect. This was revealed by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Engr Garban Yandi, in Gusau recently. He said the reinstated workers will also receive their salary promptly. He said the recall was following a comprehensive verification exercise conducted by the ministry to ensure transparency and accountability in local government personnel matters. Engr. Yandi said the affected workers were cleared after a thorough screening process confirming their genuine employment status and eligibility for reinstatement. The commissioner said the exercise reflects the Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration’s commitment to fairness, justice, and the welfare of civil servants. Engr Yandi said, “The approval highlights the dedication of the Zamfara State Government under Governor Dauda Lawal to strengthening the local government system and boosting morale among grassroots workers.” He said prompt payment of salaries remains a top priority of the government to enhance service delivery and improve governance traction. He said the government will continue undertaking reforms that will sanitise the system, eliminate irregularities, and ensure only verified workers remain on the payroll.
