Yobe Governor Mai Mala Buni has approved the release of ₦7.9 billion for payment of five years outstanding gratuity to state and local government retirees.
This was contained in a statement released by the Director General, Press and Media Affairs to the Governor Mamman Mohammed, in Abuja on Thursday.
Governor Buni further directed that, henceforth, the payment of gratuities should be integrated into the state’s monthly financial schedule, indicating that all cleared payments will be made monthly, alongside the regular pension payments, to avoid accumulation of backlog of retirement benefits.
