Ibrahim Maikudi added that, “The timeliness of the release, which the organized labour appreciated, would go a long way in cushioning the current harsh economic realities faced by civil servants.”
He further added, “We write to appreciate the approval and release of N10,000 to the civil servants; it will serve as an immediate intervention that will alleviate the suffering of the civil servants in the State.”
