Ogun workers laud timely payment, say gesture boosts morale and eases festive expenses
There was excitement among Ogun State workers as the state government paid the end-of-year bonus approved by Governor Dapo Abiodun, providing financial relief to thousands of public servants.
For many workers, the payment came as a welcome boost at a time when household expenses traditionally rise.
The bonus, which has become an annual tradition under the Abiodun administration, reflects the government’s sustained commitment to the welfare and well-being of its workforce.
Speaking on the development, the Head of Service, Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, said the gesture was meant to appreciate workers for their dedication and commitment throughout the year.
He explained that the bonus also recognised the critical role public servants play in driving the state government’s Building Our Future Together agenda.
According to Onasanya, the payment cut across all categories of employees, underscoring an inclusive approach to workers’ motivation and improved service delivery.
Workers described the bonus as timely and thoughtful, noting that it would help them clear outstanding bills and adequately prepare for the Yuletide season. They also expressed appreciation for the early payment of December salaries, which they said had eased financial pressure and boosted morale across ministries, departments and agencies.
