He urged the House to as a matter of urgency constitute a committee to investigate the circumstances under which the civil servants were denied their salary, including the Local Government workers and staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board.

The motion was seconded by Hon. Faruk Dosara and Hon. Nasir Maru.

After much deliberation, the lawmakers directed the House standing Committee on Finance and Appropriation and the Local Government to investigate the problem associated with the non-payment of salaries of the State government workers and report back within 24 hours.

Hon. Haliru Kuturu is to head the committee on the State civil servants, while Hon. Hamisu A. Faru is to investigate the issues around the local government workers.
