Kebbi State has approved changes to retirement terms for medical and veterinary doctors serving in the civil service. According to multiple reports, the state raises the retirement age from the previous limit to 65 for both medical and veterinary doctors. The decision also includes an adjustment to the maximum years of service, with reporting indicating service years are extended to 40. The government frames the move as a response to staffing and manpower shortages in the health sector and as part of efforts to strengthen health service delivery. The changes are presented as an executive approval by the Kebbi State Government, effective for eligible doctors in the civil service. While the outlets agree on the core policy—raising retirement age to 65 and extending service years to 40 for medical and veterinary doctors—the articles differ slightly in emphasis, with one focusing on the extension of retirement age and another specifying both age and service-year adjustments and linking the policy to workforce needs.
