This decision follows the presentation of a pension report by the Head of Civil Service, Elijah Evenemi.
The governor reassured pensioners that his administration remains committed to their welfare, continuing the policies of his predecessor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
Additionally, pensioners earning less than N50,000 will be included in the state’s health insurance scheme.
The Nigeria Union of Pensioners, represented by its chairman, Ohida Otaru, expressed gratitude for the governor’s engagement after two decades without direct discussions on pensioner welfare.
