2027: Kaduna pensioners endorse Uba Sani’s re-election

In 2027, the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) in Kaduna State presented an award to Governor Uba Sani during a courtesy call. The union recognized him as a pensioners-friendly governor who has supported their members by releasing over N21 billion for settling outstanding gratuities and death benefits. The State and National Executive of the union also endorsed Governor Uba Sani's bid for a second term, praising his prompt payment of pension, which is 60% of what the previous government paid during eight years.

The NUP's Deputy National Chairman, Comrade Abdullahi Usman Onuh, pointed out that Governor Uba Sani should win the election, as the state has approximately 16,000 pensioners who would support him if each votes five times. Governor Uba Sani expressed his appreciation for the pensioners' support, emphasizing that their hard work is crucial for the functioning of government.

He also pledged to review the monthly pension entitlement, considering current realities in the country and promised to set up a committee to evaluate this matter.
