The Ogun State Government has released N6.75 billion for the payment of gratuity and additional pension benefits (APB) to retirees in the state.

The Ogun State Head of Service, Mr Olanrewaju Saka, disclosed this in a statement on Friday, saying the release was part of the government’s continued efforts to address outstanding pension obligations and improve the welfare of retired workers.

According to him, N2.751 billion was released to pay gratuity to 432 beneficiaries, while another N4 billion was released for the payment of additional pension benefits to eligible retirees from July 2025 to date.

Saka said the government remained committed to ensuring that workers who had served the state meritoriously received their retirement benefits, despite competing demands on the state’s resources.
