The administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a new gratuity package for workers in the federal civil service.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The decision was reached during a meeting of the Federal Executive Council held on Wednesday. The approval introduces a gratuity payment for retiring federal civil servants.
The new policy followed recommendations from an inter-ministerial technical committee set up by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.
The committee worked alongside the National Pension Commission, the Budget Office of the Federation, and the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation to develop a framework considered financially sustainable.
Under the scheme, retiring civil servants in treasury-funded ministries, departments, and agencies will receive a gratuity equal to 100 percent of their total annual earnings — equivalent to one full year of their salary package. The benefit will apply to officers who have served for at least 10 years and will complement the existing Contributory Pension Scheme, which was introduced about 22 years ago and did not previously include gratuity payments for many retirees.
The new arrangement will take effect from January 1, 2026.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, described the approval as a significant recognition of the contributions made by civil servants who have dedicated their careers to public service and national development.
She said the initiative would improve the retirement benefits available to officers and strengthen confidence in the government’s commitment to the welfare of federal workers, while also supporting ongoing reforms aimed at building a more motivated and performance-driven civil service.
The Director of Press and Public Relations at the OHCSF, Eno Olotu, explained that the scheme is intended to reinforce the welfare structure of the federal civil service and ensure that officers who have served the country for at least 10 years retire with improved financial security.
Detailed guidelines on how the policy will be implemented are expected to be released soon.
