The Nigerian Union of Pensioners has awarded Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf as Outstanding Governor of the Year and Most Friendly Governor for Pensioners.

The national leadership of the union presented the award to the governor on Thursday.

A statement, signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, said the National Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP), Mazi Godwin Ikechuku Abumisi, said it was necessary for the union to acknowledge the governor due to his steadfast dedication to the welfare of pensioners in the state.

“Over the past year, you have authorised and disbursed N11 billion to clear the backlog of pension gratuity payments. This milestone is unparalleled; no other governor has accomplished such a feat within a single year since the restoration of democracy in Nigeria,” the statement quotes the union leader.

Tofa said the state chairmen of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) in Kano expressed gratitude to the governor for his unwavering commitment to addressing the pension liabilities amounting to N43 billion left by the previous administration.

On his part, Governor Yusuf reiterated his unwavering dedication to supporting pensioners by the settlement of their gratuities and the timely disbursement of monthly pension allowances.
