Speaking to State House correspondents in Abuja, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, who spoke to State House correspondents on Thursday in Abuja, Malam Garba Shehu said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration “takes the issue of payment of salaries more seriously’’.

According to RIPPLES NIGERIA, Malam Garba Shehu stated: “I have not been briefed about this issue but what I can tell you is that nobody takes the issue of payment of salaries more seriously than President Muhammadu Buhari.

“To give you an example, only two weeks ago or so, the National Economic Council announced that the President had approved this huge amount of money over N18 billion to each state of the federation to take care of outstanding pensions and salaries.

“So, logically speaking, if the President will help States to pay; he has done this many times, from 2015, he saw it as a national crisis.

“He did this kind of support to States not less than three times before this one.

“For the president, salary is so important that he is looking beyond the Federal and he is holding the hands of the States to join him in doing so, please, people should not be unnecessarily upset.’’ Jamb Result
