Kano State distributed five billion naira to retired government workers and deceased employees' families through its fifth installment payment. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf presented symbolic checks at the Government House on Wednesday to beneficiaries awaiting their entitlements. The administration plans to eliminate all outstanding obligations before his term concludes in 2027. More than six thousand pensioners from the total twelve thousand have received complete compensation.
The governor acknowledged retirees' patience while confirming his commitment to resolving their financial hardships. Traditional authorities attended the ceremony and commended the payment initiative. The Emir of Rano represented the Emirates Council and highlighted past difficulties faced by pensioners. Previous administrations had reportedly forced retirees to pay bribes before accessing their legitimate benefits.
