Bauchi government has approved the increment of the minimum pension from N12,000 to N32,000 for retirees to improve their socio-economic wellbeing.
LEADERSHIP reports that the newly approved minimum pension saw an increment of about N19,000. However, the government did not give a specific timeframe for implementing the new minimum pension in the state.
The head of Civil Service, Barr. Sani Umar, disclosed this to journalists after a session of the Bauchi State Executive Council at the Exco Chamber.

Umar explained further that a circular will be issued when the implementation will commence.
He commended Governor Bala Mohammed’s administration for its love and concern for the welfare of civil servants in the state.
