Senior citizens and retired public servants across Kaduna State have expressed overwhelming gratitude to Governor Uba Sani, commending his unwavering commitment to their financial security, dignity, and general welfare.
The praise comes on the heels of the state government releasing multi-billion-naira disbursements to clear long-standing pension backlogs, gratuities, and death benefits owed to retirees and families of deceased civil servants across state and local government services. For decades, retired workers in the state faced agonizing delays and bureaucratic hurdles just to access their hard-earned retirement entitlements. However, Governor Sani’s administration has consistently prioritized timely payouts, declaring that settling pension obligations is not a political favor, but a sacred constitutional duty to honour public service.
Representing various organized labor and pensioner unions, leaders noted that the regular release of funds has brought immense economic relief to thousands of households battling high living costs. Beyond settling arrears, the state government is also driving structural reforms within the Kaduna State Pension Bureau to guarantee seamless verification, eliminate ghost beneficiaries, and ensure long-term fiscal sustainability.
Senior citizens across the 23 local government areas have described Governor Uba Sani as a compassionate leader who truly understands empathy in governance. By restoring smiles to the faces of elder statesmen who spent their youthful years building the state, the administration continues to set a strong benchmark for public sector welfare across Northern Nigeria.
