Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has approved the release of ₦2.11 billion to fund the immediate payment of accrued gratuities and death benefits to retired civil servants and their families. The massive fiscal release will directly benefit 772 registered individuals, covering former state civil servants, contract staff, and retirees from both the Local Government Service and the Local Government Education Authorities (LGEAs).
Unpaid pensions and delayed retirement benefits place a heavy, unfair financial burden on elderly retirees and the families of deceased public servants, often leading to deep economic hardship and eroding public trust in government. Consistently clearing these legacy payment backlogs helps the state guarantee social security for its former workforce, injects valuable liquidity into the local economy, and ensures that families of departed workers receive their legal entitlements without delay.
This major payment approval demonstrates a highly disciplined approach to public financial management, pension system tracking, and civil service welfare. By prioritizing statutory retirement liabilities within the state budget, the administration ensures that those who served the state are treated with dignity, improving overall public sector morale and accountability.
