At least 4,000 civil servants with the Kano State Government, whose tenure was extended under the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje are expected to retire on December 1, 2024.

The decision followed the reversal of the policy which allowed workers to continue in service beyond the conventional retirement age.

The affected workers had been granted an extension to serve for an additional five years after reaching the retirement age of 60 or completing 35 years of service under a policy introduced by Ganduje.

However, this extension was revoked by the Governor Abba Yusuf-led administration, reinstating the standard retirement rules.

Chief of Staff to the Kano State Government, Abdullahi Musa, confirmed that following the abrogation of the pension law, a Senior Civil Servants Committee was established to determine the actual number of affected individuals.

In an interview with newsmen, Musa revealed that the investigation and verification of the affected workers have been completed.

“Don’t forget that at the end of former Governor Ganduje’s administration, he employed 13,000 civil servants. When this government came into power, Governor Yusuf chose not to sack them. Instead, we screened the 13,000 civil servants, fully engaging 10,000 on a permanent and pensionable basis, while the remaining 3,000 were dismissed.

“Among those dismissed were National Youth Service Corps members, undergraduates still in school, those underage 13 years and below, and those overage,” Musa explained.

He added, “Our committee, after thorough investigation, found that about 4,000 individuals are affected and are expected to retire by December 1, 2024. This means that by the end of this September, they will need to submit their retirement notices.”

Musa further added that the government had made preparations to address the vacancies created by the retirement of these senior officers.
