Kebbi Accord Candidate Pledges N500,000 Minimum Wage

Alhaji Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Bunza, the Accord Party gubernatorial candidate in Kebbi State, announced his commitment to pay civil servants a minimum wage of N500,000 if elected. Speaking at the Candidates Engagement Forum organized by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Birnin Kebbi, he criticized current government policies that he claims have led to hardship for workers.

Bunza stated that the current take-home pay does not reflect the economic realities and vowed to enhance workers' welfare, asserting that Nigeria has the resources to provide a living wage. He also highlighted security as a major concern, arguing that existing governments are failing to adequately address issues like banditry and kidnapping.

Bunza pledged to confront security challenges directly to restore hope and peace in Kebbi. Additionally, he promised to transform agriculture, drawing from his own experience as a farmer.
