Mr Mustapha attributed the turnout to the exemplary leadership of Gov. Mai Mala Buni under the APC.
The fire destroyed property worth over N150 million.
The payment would no doubt support the livelihood of the retirees.
Mr Mohammed said the governor also approved N1 million to each of six other security agents injured in the attack.
Mr Buba said one of the injured police escorts died shortly on arrival at the Specialists Hospital Damaturu.
“The next of kin of the deceased civil servants will also be paid the entitlements of their deceased relations to support the beneficiaries.”
The payment is for 475 pensioners across the 17 local government areas of the state.
Witnesses said the deceased was matcheted with a cutlass and burned to death by the local chief’s sons.
He added it would address the missing link in the health sector, as reiterated by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
