Of all the 36 of the federation, Katsina State stands tall in terms of prompt payment of monthly pensions as well as gratuity to retirees at the state level and 34 local councils.

During his electioneering campaign, Governor Aminu Bello Masari promised to offset the backlog of pensions and gratuities when elected into office.

He stood by his words and immediately he assumed office, he settled an inherited debt of over N11 billion which the state and 34 local government councils owed their retired and deceased workers.

The governor has also continued to pay the ex-workers on quarterly basis, thereby making life easier for them.  I urge other states to emulate him.
