Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has announced a Christmas bonus of ₦150,000 for each state worker.
The announcement was confirmed in a Facebook post late Thursday by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor, who stated that the bonus would be disbursed before 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.
“Every worker in Ebonyi State service will receive ₦150,000 as a Christmas bonus before 1 p.m. on Tuesday,” the post read, signed by Governor Nwifuru.
This gesture highlights Governor Nwifuru’s commitment to the welfare of the state’s workforce, marking a significant increase from the previous year’s bonus of ₦100,000.
In addition to the Christmas bonus, the Ebonyi State Government has also begun the full implementation of the new minimum wage law. Workers in the state are now receiving a minimum wage of over ₦70,000, with an additional ₦5,000 as part of the state’s efforts to continuously improve workers’ welfare.
