New Gratuity Scheme for Retiring Civil Servants Approved
The Permanent Secretary of the State House, Temitop Peter Fashedemi, announced a new gratuity scheme for retiring civil servants, which will benefit staff with a minimum of 10 years of service. This announcement was made during a send-off ceremony in Abuja on Thursday, where two directors and two deputy directors were honored.
The scheme, approved by President Bola Tinubu, aims to enhance retirement benefits and improve worker welfare. It will take effect on January 1, 2026, and will provide gratuity equivalent to one year's basic salary upon retirement, complementing the contributory pension scheme established in 2004.
Fashedemi emphasized the importance of recognizing the dedication of public servants and aligning the policy with the Federal Government's commitment to staff welfare. The ceremony also included commendations for retiring staff members, including Franci Isa Wasa, who was recognized for his strong work ethic and dedication to service.
