The statement further contained that, “attention of the Bauchi State Government has been drawn to what it considers as an unfounded rumor by some mischief makers who alleged that the state government has stopped the monthly mandatory payment of N100 Million outstanding gratuities for retired State Civil Servants in the last three months”.
“For the avoidance of doubt and in order to put the records straight, the Bauchi state government under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed has settled the monthly mandatory payment of N100 million for state retirees up to the month of November 2019”, the statement explains.
It added that “Although it is only the payment for the month of December 2019 that is still pending due to the shortfall in revenue allocation for the month from the Federation Account. However, it should also be noted that the government is up to date in the monthly mandatory payment of the N100 million for the Local Government retirees”.
