Yobe State Healthcare Workers Appeal Governor Over Low Pay and Unpaid Allowances
What happened
Community nurses and midwives working in Primary HealthCare facilities across the 17 local government areas of Yobe State sent an open letter to Governor Mai Mala Buni. The appeal concerned worsening welfare challenges, specifically citing low monthly salaries, delayed or incomplete implementation of approved salary structures, and the non-payment of hazard allowance. The workers acknowledged the state government’s efforts to strengthen Primary Healthcare and improve service delivery.

Why it matters
The appeals indicate that current salaries are insufficient to cope with rising living costs, leading to morale issues among the staff. These issues affect the operational capacity of the state's primary healthcare system, which is vital for service delivery in rural communities.
Mai Mala Buni, Governor of Yobe State, recently held an event at a local hospital to promote healthcare coverage.
