We’re Yet to Receive our Entitlements, Kano Pensioners.

Chairman of Nigerian Union of Pensioners, Kano state chapter, Alhaji Salisu Ahmed, has disclosed that over 3,000 pensioners that retired from 2016 to 2018 are yet to receive their gratuities.

Ahmed made the disclosure during the week when he led other members of the union to pay a courtesy visit to the speaker, House of Assembly, Alhaji Abdulazeez Garba-Gafasa.

He said, “Over 3,000 of our members that retired from the state civil service from 2016 to 2018 have not received a single Kobo as their gratuity. This has caused a lot of hardship to our members; some of them have even died without getting their entitlement.

“This is worrisome and has become necessary for us to voice it out because many of them are going through a lot of challenges due to the non-payment of their entitlement. Therefore, we are calling on the speaker to intervene on the issue so as to bring to an end the suffering of our members.”
