Commissioner for Local Governments, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development, Haruna Muhammad announced this while addressing reporters in Ilorin, the state capital. 

Muhammad said the salary structure would based on the outcome  of the verification panel on council administration.

 “The panel submitted its report and it is due for consideration. The government would have loved to start the implementation in July but for time constraints.
