EKSG Commences Payment Of Gratuities To Retirees

In line with the commitment of the Dr Kayode Fayemi -led administration to improve the quality of lives of senior citizens, the state government has commenced payment of gratuities to all civil servants who recently retired from the state public service.
The Commissioner for Finance and  Economic Development, Mr. Dapo Kolawole who made this known while answering reporters’ questions in his office,  said a committee of relevant stakeholders has been set up to assist the State’s Pension Commission to pay the  pension and gratuities of  retired civil servants both at the State and Local Government levels.
The Commissioner explained that the delay in the payment of gratuities to retirees in the state was due to the recent introduction of Integrated Personnel Payroll System which is aimed at blocking leakages and promoting efficiency in the system.
