The statement reads:
"The Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf will on Saturday, 2 December 2023, flag-off the payment gratuities to pensioners in the state.
"Senior citizens who retired from 2016-2019 and are owed between 3 million naira and below will be the first set of beneficiaries.
"Also, senior citizens who retired from 2016 to 2020 and are wired 2.5 million and below, and deceased retirees who are owed 3 million naira will also be among the first set."
Pensioners urged to undergo verification to claim gratuity
Pensioners eligible for payment were urged to bring their documents for verification at the state house at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 2.
This development comes when there is political instability in Kano following a series of protests over the appellate court's decision to sack Governor Yusuf and cancel his victory at the March 18 gubernatorial poll.
Governor Yusuf would be seeking redress at the Supreme as it would be his last port of call to hold a grip on his seat as leader of Kano state.
