**Eid-el-Fitr: 5 Governors Who Are Showing Love to Nigerian Workers** As Nigerians prepare to break their fast and celebrate the end of Ramadan with Eid-el-Fitr, some state governors are spreading the love by approving early payment of March salaries for civil servants and pensioners. In a welcome move, the governors of Zamfara, Sokoto, Kano, Kogi, and Kebbi states have joined hands to support workers ahead of the festive period. According to the governors, the early payment of salaries is to enable workers make adequate preparations for the Eid celebrations. The decision comes at the right time, considering that Eid-el-Fitr is a momentous occasion for Muslims worldwide, marking the end of a month-long fasting period during Ramadan. It's a time for families and friends to come together, give thanks, and feast with loved ones. In a bid to show appreciation for their hard work, these five governors have decided to pay March salaries ahead of schedule. This move will undoubtedly alleviate financial stress on workers, who can now focus on preparing for the Eid festivities without worrying about receiving their salaries on time. The Zamfara state government, led by Commissioner Muhammad Dantawasa, was the first to announce the early payment of salaries. The Sokoto state governor, Ahmed Aliyu, followed suit, approving the immediate payment of March salaries from Friday, March 13, 2026. Abba Kabir Yusuf, Governor of Kano state, also approved early payment of March salaries for civil servants ahead of Eid al-Fitr celebrations. Meanwhile, the governors of Kogi and Kebbi states have also shown their appreciation for workers by approving early payment of March salaries. This move is a testament to the governors' commitment to supporting their workers, particularly during special occasions like Eid-el-Fitr. As Nigerians prepare to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, we can only hope that more governors will follow the lead of these five states and show their appreciation for workers by approving early payment of salaries.
