A file photo of Gombe State Governor, Muhammad Yahaya, has decried the inability of his administration to pay the N30,000 minimum wage to workers in the state.
Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, on Friday asked the Christian community in the state to pray for peace, security, and prosperity of the state and the nation.
The Governor made the comment in a Christmas message released by spokesperson Ismaila Uba Misilli.
He enjoined the Christian faithful and the entire people of the state to rededicate themselves and remain steadfast in prayers against all the challenges bedeviling the state and humanity in general.
“We are indeed in a trying moment but I am optimistic that with collective commitment, sacrifice, and by turning to God through prayers we shall overcome all the trials and emerge stronger,” he said.

“This period reminds us of God’s love for humanity and the need to uphold the virtues of compassion, tolerance, and love.
“It also provides an opportunity for reinforcement of unity of purpose, bond of brotherhood and dedication in service to God and humanity as exemplified by Jesus Christ.”
