Government approves N150k Christmas bonus for workers

All civil servants in Ebonyi State are set to receive a Christmas bonus of ₦150,000.

This was announced by the State Governor, Francis Nwifuru.

 

This payment is scheduled to be disbursed before 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 17, according to a statement from his Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor.

Last year, the governor, alongside his colleagues from Lagos and Rivers states, offered ₦100,000 to civil servants to ease the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.

Local government employees, who received ₦50,000 bonuses last year, are hopeful for a similar directive to their council chairmen.

Recently, the governor also raised the minimum wage in Ebonyi to ₦75,000, exceeding the federal government’s benchmark of ₦70,000, with additional increments for higher grades.
