Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has announced that the government has allocated a substantial sum of N6 billion to make partial payments towards the death benefits and pension gratuity owed to more than 5,500 retired civil servants in the state. The beneficiaries of these benefits will primarily be retirees at lower grade levels, with amounts ranging from N1 million downwards. “I am constantly thinking about the issue of gratuities for retired civil servants. During these meetings, we decided to start by paying those with lower grade levels whose entitlements have not exceeded N1 million or are just slightly above N1 million, down to around N150,000 or N250,000. Governor Yusuf has also reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of both current workers and retired civil servants in the state.
