The Zamfara State Government has settled N2.3 billion in backlog of gratuities, while another 3,079 retirees were verified in an effort to pay the backlog of gratuities owed by previous administrations.

The statement added that the second tranche of verified pensionersโ€™ gratuity payments began last Friday, bringing relief to retirees who had been waiting for their entitlements for years.

โ€œTremendous progress has been made in verifying state and local government pensioners. Payment for the second tranche of verified pensionersโ€™ gratuity commenced on Friday, March 1, 2024.

โ€œA total of 413 verified pensioners from the state have been paid a sum of about NGN 682,228,647.38 (six hundred and eighty-two million, two hundred and twenty thousand, six hundred- and forty-seven-naira thirty-eight kobo only).

โ€œAlso, the payment of the second tranche of verified pensioners from Local Governments has commenced.
