However, the government has allocated N10 billion for the initial disbursement, which will cover retirees from both the state and local government schemes.

The government has established a committee to oversee the disbursement of gratuities, which will ensure that the process is transparent and fair.

The committee has announced that a verification exercise will commence soon to ensure that only eligible beneficiaries receive their gratuities.

Retirees who exited service between 2009 and 2015 are advised to prepare for the verification exercise, which will be announced soon. Only those who retired and completed documentation during this period will be considered in this first cycle of payment.
