Uzor stated that the bonus would be paid to the workers before 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.
“Every worker in Ebonyi State service will receive N150,000 as a Christmas bonus before 1 p.m. on Tuesday,” the post read.
The move comes just months after Governor Nwifuru approved the payment of a N75,000 minimum wage to civil servants in the state.
In an earlier statement issued on October 27, the governor explained that the implementation of the new minimum wage was a response to the prevailing economic challenges faced by workers in the country.
“According to the governor, the least paid civil servant on grade level 2 will enjoy a full minimum wage of N75,000, while from grade level 3 and above will get an increment of N40,000 across board,” the statement read.
