In light of the upcoming Ramadan, Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has approved the early disbursement of February salaries and pensions for state employees and retirees. This decision, communicated through a statement by the state's Commissioner for Information and Culture, Mahmud Dantawasa, aims to ensure that civil servants and pensioners can adequately prepare for the holy month. The directive emphasizes a timely disbursement, instructing the State Accountant General to release the funds without delay.

The governor's statement encourages all affected parties—civil servants, retirees, and the broader Muslim community—to utilize this sacred time for prayer and reflection. He specifically called for prayers for lasting peace and stability in Zamfara State, reflecting on the region's ongoing challenges. The approval comes as a proactive measure to support the community, seeking to foster a spirit of unity as they enter the month of Ramadan.

By ensuring that state workers and pensioners receive their payments promptly, the governor aims to alleviate potential financial stress during a time typically marked by increased spending for religious observances. The early provision of these funds underscores the administration's commitment to the welfare of its citizens and sets a tone of goodwill and support as the community prepares for Ramadan.
