Adamawa State governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has inaugurated a new Pension Committee tasked with ensuring fairness, transparency, and timely settlement of arrears owed to retired civil servants in the state. Tukur said the administration remains committed to easing the financial burden of retirees who have faced delays in receiving their entitlements. As part of the renewed effort, Fintiri approved ₦8 billion for the payment of pension liabilities. Of this, ₦5 billion is allocated to state pensioners and ₦3 billion to local government retirees across the 21 LGAs. The committee’s reconstitution comes as calls for pension reform grow nationwide, with many states still burdened by large outstanding pension liabilities.
