The governor of Kano state Abba Kabir Yusuf had announced the allocation of additional N5 billion for disbursement as second installment of pension gratuity to retired workers in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
He said Governor Yusuf announced this decision at the commencement of the fourteenth Kano State Executive Council meeting held at the Council Chamber of Kano state Government House.
The statement added that it is worth noting that last year, Kano state government had disbursed six billion Naira to settle outstanding payments to thousands of retirees who had not received their entitlements during the previous eight years of the immediate past administration.
The statement says the state governor had emphasized that these payments were made to support retirees and bring joy to their lives, as many had endured years of waiting without receiving their rightful dues despite their dedicated service to the state during their working years.
“We are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of civil servants and retirees in the state,” stated the Governor.
