In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Dr. Muyideen Akorede, the state Government said those that are yet to will receive their salaries by next Monday as Thursday and Friday are public holidays.

Continuing, the state government said there is therefore no reason for anyone or group to spread negative rumors or incite trouble on any account as Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed approved the payment of state and local government workers last Tuesday in anticipation of monthly allocation to the state and federal government salary bailout for local government councils.

The statement urged the people to mark the Eid El Kabir holidays peacefully and with prayers for the quick resolution of the challenges facing the national economy.
