Senator Uba Sani, the Governor of Kaduna State, has approved a new salary structure for three major tertiary institutions in the state.
The approval covers academic and non-academic staff of Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, the Shehu Idris College of Health Sciences and Technology, and the College of Education, Gidan Waya.
This decision brings to an end a 15-year-long struggle by the staff of these institutions, who have been demanding a review of their remuneration package.
The new salary structure is expected to align their pay with contemporary economic realities and improve morale.
While the specific details of the new salary scale were not immediately released, the approval is seen as a major victory for the educational sector in the state and a fulfillment of the government’s commitment to the welfare of its workforce.
