Oyo Govt disburses Two Hundred and Eighty Million Naira for payment of gratuity

Two Hundred and Eighty Million Naira, payment of gratuity for One Hundred (100) retired civil servants for 2012 on Grade Level 1 to 17 , has been disbursed by the Oyo State Government.

The State Head of Service Mrs Ololade Agboola made this public during the symbolic presentation of cheques to 2012 retired civil servants held at the former Ministry of Establishments and Training building Secretariat Ibadan.

Represented by the Acting Permanent Secretary, Mrs Adejoke Eyitayo, advised retired civil servants to hasten the process of their retirement papers in order so to collect their gratuity on time, noting that government would only process payment for those that had earlier processed their retirement documents.

Agboola, noted that retired civil servants are enlisted for payment of gratuity base of merit, that is, the year of completion of thier retirement papers.

She however, charged retirees to stay away from fraudulent people who always negotiate a certain percentage to facilitate the payment of their gratuity which they had earned legitimately, and use their gratuity judiciously by embarking on profitable business ventures that will take care of them and their families.
