In a landmark decision, Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State, has approved a total of ₦15.6 billion for the settlement of outstanding severance gratuities, accommodation allowances, and leave/recess allowances owed to over 3,000 former councillors from the 44 local government councils in Kano.

This significant financial package targets councillors who served during three distinct periods that include, 2014-2017, 2018-2020, and 2021-2024.

The funds will be disbursed in three installments across April, May, and June 2025 as disclosed on Wednesday by the special adviser on Information to the governor, Ibrahim Adam.

The former councillors served under the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, during which their entitlements were left unpaid.

“The issue of these outstanding payments has caused considerable frustration among the affected council members. Governor Yusuf, elected on a different political platform, has taken the initiative to settle their earned entitlements, marking a departure from previous administrative practices” he stated.
He further emphasised that this financial intervention is not just a commitment to the past but also a step towards fostering trust and accountability in governance.

“The approval of ₦15.6 billion is a fulfillment of Gov. Abba Yusuf’s promise to ensure that all outstanding entitlements owed to our dedicated public servants are settled. It is our duty to uphold the dignity of those who serve in elected positions.

“His Excellency recognises the sacrifices made by these councillors throughout their service. It is time to right the wrongs of the past, and the government is determined to make this happen,” he added.

“Local government officials have expressed appreciation for Governor Yusuf’s decision, viewing it as a critical step toward rectifying the financial injustices faced by these former councillors. This timely intervention is expected to provide much-needed support to the over 3,000 individuals who have long awaited their rightful entitlements.

“Governor Yusuf’s administration continues to gain public support as it actively works to resolve various humanitarian and administrative issues that have persisted from previous regimes. As the scheduled payments approach, many are hopeful that this financial relief will further enhance the well-being of the former councillors and contribute positively to their communities” he concluded.
