Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has flagged off the payment of N3.82 billion gratuities to 985 retirees of the state public service. The beneficiaries include 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. 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. He noted that his administration inherited billions of naira in outstanding gratuity obligations but confronted the burden with courage and responsibility.
