Governor Uba Sani approved N3.659 billion to cover pension, gratuity, and death benefits for retirees and families of deceased public servants across Kaduna State and Local Government Services. The approval covers 1,339 beneficiaries, including those under the Defined Benefit Scheme and the Contributory Pension Scheme. The payments add to the administration’s cumulative disbursements to N21.455 billion since the Governor took office in May 2023.
Why it matters
The payments fulfill the state government's stated obligation to its former public servants. The funds are earmarked for various tiers of government employees, including local government retirees.
