Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has approved the release of N3.1 billion for the payment of gratuities to retirees and death benefits for the families of deceased workers under both the Defined Benefit Scheme and the Contributory Pension Scheme. This move is part of the governor’s commitment to alleviating the hardships faced by elderly retirees and their families.
The Kaduna State Government, through the State Pension Bureau, will continue to ensure the timely release of these payments to beneficiaries in the state, with the aim of providing financial support to those who have retired from active service.
The full list and details of beneficiaries will be released by the State Pension Bureau in the coming days.
This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to supporting retirees and their families, especially in light of current economic challenges.
