The Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has approved 60 years as the retirement age for law officers in the employment of the state government. He said the length of service would no longer apply to them. The state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Ibrahim Sanni Muhammed (SAN), disclosed this Wednesday in Lokoja at a Two- Day Training Workshop for Law Officers, from the Kogi State Office of the Public Defender and Citizens’ Commission, (PDCRC) and Ministry of Justice.

Mohammed explained that the new retirement age for law officers would ensure that the system benefits maximally from their skills and experience, particularly those the state government has invested heavily in.
