Yusuf launches payment of N5 billion gratuity, death benefits

Kano Governor Abba Yusuf has inaugurated the second phase payment of N5 billion gratuity and death benefits to beneficiaries from the period of 2016 to 2019.

He said his administration inherited “a pension system that was deliberately broken, chaotic, and confused.” According to him, the deductions were done by corrupt officials who feasted on it, as there was no record anywhere showing that the deductions were being remitted to government coffers.He however, said his administration, soon when it came onboard, was able to promptly stop all illegal deductions that were being made on the monthly pension payments and the emoluments of civil servants.

He said the pensioners had served Kano State diligently and retired due to age or years of service as provided by the civil service rules, so his administration has deep concern for their welfare.
