The Kaduna State Government has approved the release of ₦4.289 billion for the payment of pension entitlements, gratuities, and death benefits owed to retired civil servants and families of deceased workers in the state.
The approval was given by Governor Uba Sani, according to a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Ahmed Maiyaki.
The payment covers obligations under both the Contributory Pension Scheme (accrued rights) and the Defined Benefit Scheme, as part of ongoing efforts by the administration to clear outstanding liabilities and strengthen social protection.
Maiyaki described the intervention as a reflection of Governor Sani’s people-focused leadership and commitment to the welfare of senior citizens, adding that the move goes beyond debt settlement to restoring dignity and honouring the contributions of retirees.
