Fidelis David in Akure
Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on Wednesday flagged off the payment of N3.82 billion gratuities to 985 retirees of the state public service, covering the 2020 batch and outstanding beneficiaries from 2015 to 2019.
The beneficiaries comprise 509 retirees from the 2020 batch and 476 from the 2015–2019 batches, drawn from the mainstream civil service, secondary school teaching and non-teaching staff, and parastatals across the state.
Governor Aiyedatiwa described the exercise as “a debt of honour being discharged” to those who devoted their productive years to the service of Ondo State.
