Kaduna Governor Uba Sani Approves New Minimum Wage for Primary School Teachers and Local Government Workers
In a major relief for Kaduna State workers, Governor Uba Sani has officially approved the new national minimum wage for primary school teachers, local government employees, and primary healthcare workers.
This landmark decision follows weeks of negotiation between the Kaduna State Government and labour unions, who had earlier threatened an indefinite strike. With the new wage structure taking effect from October 2025, the move aims to cushion the effects of inflation and rising living costs.
According to reports from Channels TV and Vanguard, the governor’s approval aligns Kaduna with other states implementing the ₦72,000 minimum wage, ensuring fair compensation for thousands of workers across the state. Labour unions have since suspended their planned strike, praising the governor for his proactive stance and commitment to workers’ welfare.
While social media posts cite ₦72,000 as the new base salary, official gazettes detailing the exact breakdown for teachers and other categories are expected to be released soon. Still, the news has sparked celebrations among educators and grassroots workers who had long called for wage reviews.
Governor Uba Sani’s move underscores his administration’s focus on education, healthcare, and grassroots development, reaffirming his promise to prioritize Kaduna’s workforce.
