Speaking on Thursday, May 2, in Abuja, during the launch of the standard copy of the Khattul Barnawy handwritten Qur’an, the governor said his administration had made achievements in the developmental projects, policies and programmes in all sectors in the state.

Daily Trust reports that Gaidam said 100,000 copies of the standard Holy Qur’an had been produced by the state government for distribution to mosques, ‘Madrasas and Tsangaya schools, Ulamas’ and individuals.

Speaking earlier, the chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC), Alhaji Baba Wali, who is also the secretary to the Yobe state government, said the work on Khattul Barnawy was the first concerted effort by any government to bring together scholars to work on the standardization, since the coming of Islam to Nigeria.

Meanwhile, the Oyo state governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, said the state cannot pay the new national minimum wage of N30,000 just signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Makinde in a report in Tribune published on Wednesday, May 1, said the federal government should have allowed states to negotiate the new minimum wage for their workers as the condition of living varies from state to state.
