Do you know that primary school teachers in Zamfara state Northern Nigeria earn N8,000 as minimum wage. The National minimum wage for the country is N30,000
This was revealed by the state Chairman of NLC Sani Halliru, while speaking in Gusau on Wednesday during the Workers’ Day celebration.

The NLC chairman urged Governor Dauda Lawal to implement the current N30,000 national minimum wage for Zamfara school teachers, pointing out their dedication despite the meager pay.
In response, Governor Lawal commended the state’s civil servants for their hard work and dedication despite facing numerous challenges.
He assured them of his administration’s commitment to their welfare.
Governor Lawal stated, “I will not promise you what I cannot sustain, but I am assuring you that I will surprise you.”
