The Ebonyi state Governor Francis Nwifuru has announced a Christmas Bonus of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (₦150,000) for each state worker.
This was confirmed in Facebook post late Thursday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Monday Uzor.
He said the workers would be receiving the bonus before 1pm on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.
“Every Worker in Ebonyi State service will receive ₦150,000 as a Christmas Bonus before 1pm on Tuesday… Gov. Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru,” the post read.
This demonstrates Governor Nwifuru’s commitment to workers’ welfare, especially considering the previous year’s bonus of ₦100,000.
Meanwhile, the state government has commenced full implementation of the new minimum wage act exceeding the ₦70,000 with additional ₦5,000 for Ebonyi workers, as it reiterates its consistency in improving workers’ welfare.
