Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State signed an executive order on Sunday, mandating the immediate initiation and completion of all pending pension and gratuity payments to verified retirees across the state.
A statement from the Chief Press Secretary, Yusuf Sanda, highlighted that this directive reflects the governor’s dedication to the welfare of senior citizens who have served the state throughout their careers.
“Taraba State must honor those who have devoted their lives to public service. Their dignity is non-negotiable, and addressing their welfare is our moral responsibility,” Kefas stated.
As part of the new initiative, a special outreach team will be deployed to all local government councils, wards, and villages to identify and document retirees who are alive but incapacitated, ensuring they receive their entitlements without any difficulties.
The Ministry of Finance has also been instructed to submit weekly compliance reports directly to the Governor’s Office, with Kefas emphasizing that no administrative delays will be accepted.
The government reassured pensioners that the payment process is being treated with urgency and encouraged them to remain calm as the implementation begins.
