Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has approved a new salary structure for academic and non-academic staff of Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil, and Northwest University, Kano.
The approval follows the Federal Government’s revised remuneration package for university workers and will take effect from January 2026, with payments commencing in September 2026.
The new structure will cost the state ₦391.8 million monthly, amounting to about ₦4.7 billion annually for the two institutions.
The government also approved ₦1.57 billion in the 2026 supplementary budget to cover immediate payments, while outstanding arrears will be captured in the 2027 budget.
Governor Yusuf said the move is aimed at improving workers’ welfare, promoting industrial harmony, and strengthening the state’s higher education system.
