In a statement issued by the Ministry of Information and Culture, the government said Governor Dauda Lawal had directed the Office of the Accountant-General to begin the payments immediately.
The government said the move is part of efforts to improve the welfare of retired civil servants and ensure they receive their benefits without delay.
“The government recognises the sacrifices and dedicated services rendered by retirees toward the development of Zamfara State and remains determined to prioritise their wellbeing,” the statement said.
It added that the administration remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the prompt settlement of gratuities and pension matters.
Retirees listed under Batch 4 were advised to cooperate with the relevant authorities and complete the required procedures to ensure smooth payment.
The government also thanked pensioners and retirees for their patience and support while outstanding obligations continue to be addressed.
