Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni, has approved the implementation of the new minimum wage ‘Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS)’ and the ‘Consolidated Tertiary Institution Salary Structure (CONTISS II)’ for academic and non-academic staff of Yobe State University.
The approval was conveyed through an official memo from the Office of the Head of Service to the commissioner of Finance and Economic Development, which was made available to LEADERSHIP Sunday in Damaturu.
According to the document signed by the permanent secretary, Establishment, Shuaibu Ibrahim Amshi, the implementation of the salary structures took effect from July 11, 2025.
