Get Guardian on GoogleCivil Service Union, Kaduna State Council has thrown its weight behind the 2027 re-election bids of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani, saying the two leaders deserve second terms to consolidate their achievements in improving workers’ welfare.
The endorsement followed a unanimous decision by leadership of the Civil Service Union in consultation with its members after reviewing the performances of President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in the last three and half years, according to the Chairman of the union, Comrade Ayuka Shemang.
Addressing a press conference in collaboration with Gaskiya Network, over the weekend in Kaduna, Comrade Shemang based the union’s support for Tinubu’s reelection on the achievements of the president, which he said had made the life of a civil servant better.
He particularly commended the President for approving the 72,000 naira minimum wage for civil servants and increasing state monthly allocations so that governors could meet up their obligations of prompt salary payments.
Comrade Shemang mentioned the administration’s support for education through granting loan to students, economic recovery, petroleum subsidy reform and foreign exchange management as good policies capable of ensuring accelerated growth and development of the nation.
He said the Federal Government’s road infrastructure, agriculture and youth empowerment programmes had greatly impacted lives in so many positive ways.
On Governor Uba Sani, the Civil Service Union acknowledged improvement in workers’ relations with the State Government, a clear contrast from what was obtainable in the previous administration.
Comrade Shemang lauded Uba Sani for prompt payment of workers’ salaries, free transportation and reducing tuition fees charged by state-owned tertiary institutions, saying the humane policies had won the hearts of civil servants in the state.
He said the introduction of community-based security initiative had helped in improving security of lives and property across the state.
Agriculture, rural development, youth and women empowerment were areas he scored the Uba Sani administration high, adding that all political zones in Kaduna State enjoyed equal and even distribution of resources, unlike in the past when some areas were neglected.
The Union called on its members and the entire workforce of the state to vote and mobilize support for the success of Tinubu and Uba Sani at the poll in 2027.
