The Arewa Think Tank (ATT) has praised Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, for launching a fleet of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses to provide free transportation for state civil servants, calling it a commendable initiative.
ATT also welcomed the governor’s approval of a new minimum wage of N72, 000 for state workers, which took effect this month.
In a statement by the ATT convener, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu, he noted that “Governor Uba Sani’s approval of a new minimum wage and introduction of free transport for civil servants is highly commendable, reflecting his commitment to workers’ welfare and the betterment of the vulnerable in Kaduna state.”
Yakubu applauded the launch of the free transport scheme, which included 100 CNG buses, to ease commuting for civil servants, adding that “this initiative will help alleviate workers’ burdens and boost productivity.”
He encouraged cooperation between organised labor and the state government to ensure effective management of the scheme.
The ATT, however, urged Governor Sani to continue advancing policies that “uplift the underserved,” and called on the people to support “these efforts to make the state a model of social welfare.”
