Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has reiterated his government’s dedication to the well-being of retirees by initiating the third phase of pension disbursements, amounting to N5 billion. This raises the total funds distributed to retirees during his administration to N16 billion. In a statement from his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf highlighted that this program is part of continuous efforts to assist retirees who contributed many years of service to the state. The start of the third phase emphasizes the administration’s constant commitment to tackling unresolved pension debts and safeguarding the financial well-being of Kano’s elderly population. In previous phases, the governor designated N6 billion in the first phase for retirees below Grade Level 10, and another N5 billion in the second phase for those who dedicated 35 years of service to the state. Governor Yusuf reiterated his administration’s resolve to resolve all pending pension and gratuity payments for retirees in Kano. He guaranteed them that their benefits would be paid on time, emphasizing that the important contributions of retirees would be acknowledged. “Our administration is completely dedicated to tackling the issues that retirees encounter.” “We will keep focusing on their welfare and make sure that all outstanding benefits are resolved clearly and promptly,” the governor said. The third phase of my payments is a significant move in Governor Yusuf’s initiatives to rebuild confidence in the state’s pension system and improve the quality of life for retirees in Kano.
