In addition to the new wage policy, he said that the governor would also launch a Free Transport Scheme for civil servants, introducing 100 CNG-powered buses to provide daily transportation to and from work.

According to him, the scheme, designed to ease financial burdens and improve productivity, will be managed by a Joint Management Committee, comprising NLC and TUC representatives and the state government.

Mr Musa restated the present administration’s commitment to implementing policies that would uplift the less-privileged and make the state a model for social welfare programmes, with the support of the citizens.
