The Zamfara State Government has approved the early payment of March 2026 salaries for civil servants ahead of the Eid‑el‑Fitr festival.

The state government said the decision was taken to ensure that workers receive their wages before the holiday period.

Eid‑el‑Fitr marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, and is a public holiday observed nationwide.

The Zamfara State Government regularly disburses workers’ salaries through its payroll system each month.

Officials said the advance release of wages was approved in line with government efforts to ensure that civil servants have access to their earnings ahead of major festivities.

According to the state government, the early payment covers all categories of civil servants in Zamfara State for the month of March 2026.

A statement issued by the Zamfara State Civil Service Commission confirmed the approval and directed relevant authorities to facilitate the prompt release of funds into workers’ accounts.

The statement said that the early payment would be effected in sufficient time before Eid‑el‑Fitr to allow workers to access their wages.

The commission directed all local government and parastatal payroll officers to ensure that the necessary arrangements were made for the payment of salaries before the holiday.

The statement emphasised the need for timely disbursement so that salaries would reflect in workers’ accounts ahead of the festivities.

The early payment of salaries before Eid‑el‑Fitr is expected to allow civil servants in Zamfara State to receive their wages prior to the holiday.

Timely salary payments can support financial planning and personal arrangements during festive periods.
