From Desmond Mgboh, Kano

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has accused his predecessor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, of failing to prioritize the payment of gratuities and death benefits to state retirees in his eight-year tenure.

He stated that the administration’s neglect of these pensioners left the State Pension Fund Trustees with a cumulative outstanding of over N48 billion.
