Nigerian state pension and healthcare administration

Overview

In Kano State, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf announced the clearance of N32bn from an inherited N48bn pension and gratuity backlog. The administration also increased the minimum monthly pension from N5,000 to N20,000 and recruited 2,037 new health workers, including doctors, nurses, and midwives. This follows a surgical outreach program supported by the Saudi Arabian government.

In Kaduna State, the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) endorsed Governor Uba Sani for re-election, citing the release of over N21 billion to settle outstanding gratuities and death benefits. Union officials noted that pensioners are now receiving entitlements promptly, addressing previous delays experienced at the local government level.
