PAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING GRATUITIES AND DEATH BENEFITS TO RETIREES
Project Overview
In our push to restore dignity to pensioners and families of deceased workers, we reached the momentous milestone of settling ₦22 billion out of the inherited ₦48 billion backlog of unpaid retirees’ gratuities and death benefits, yesterday.
Speaking at an event to mark the release of the fourth tranche of 6 billion naira, I described the payments as part of our broader agenda to address long-standing liabilities and reposition Kano State as a model of responsible governance.
The settlement of these outstanding gratuities and death benefits not only alleviates the hardship faced by affected families, but also reaffirms our administration’s promise to restore trust in government and uphold social justice.
Moreover, I assured that the remaining balance will be cleared in subsequent tranches, ensuring that no pensioner or bereaved family is left behind. - AKY
