Inusa Ndahi

Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has approved N8b for the payment of the backlog of liabilities on pensions and gratuities for retired primary school teachers and other civil servants that have worked with the government.

The N8b will clear liabilities accrued from 2019 to 2021.

Zulum announced the approval on Wednesday at the council chamber of the government house in Maiduguri.

The governor released N3b in June and September, 2019, to clear gratuities of 1,684 retirees that left the civil service between 2013 and 2019 and disbursed over N12b in 2020 for retirees that left both the state and local government civil service between 2013 and 2017.

“Since I took over in 2019 to date, we have paid about 25 billion naira for the settlement of gratuities for those that have worked with local and state governments,” Zulum said.

Meanwhile, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has assured that his administration will settle all the backlog of gratuities and pensions before the end of his tenure in 2027. He said, “Insh’Allah, I will clear all the backlog of gratuities before I leave office in 2027.”
