Adamawa State pensioners will receive an additional N40,000 monthly payment above their current benefits. The lowest-paid retirees currently earning N4,000 per month will see their total payments rise to N44,000. Nigerian Union of Pensioners Chairman Mohammed Sali announced Monday that Governor Ahmadu Fintiri pledged this increase during recent discussions. The union leader expressed confidence that the governor will honor his commitment once verification processes conclude. Sali spoke with journalists at his Yola office regarding pension improvements.
The state government conducts verification exercises to eliminate payments to deceased pensioners and reduce financial waste. Officials aim to identify legitimate beneficiaries before implementing the new payment structure. Sali supports these measures as necessary steps to protect public resources from fraudulent claims. Governor Fintiri also promised N5 billion to clear outstanding gratuity for state pensioners and N3 billion for local government retirees. The union represents approximately 22,000 members throughout the state.
