For many beneficiaries, the bonus served as a timely boost during a period when household spending typically increases. The payment, now an annual practice under the Abiodun administration, underscores the government’s sustained commitment to the welfare and well-being of its workforce.
Commenting on the development, the State Head of Service, Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, explained that the gesture was meant to reward workers for their dedication and hard work throughout the year. He added that it also recognizes the vital contributions of public servants to the successful implementation of the government’s Building Our Future Together agenda.
According to him, the payment cuts across all categories of state government employees, reinforcing an inclusive approach to staff motivation and service delivery.
Several workers who spoke with reporters described the bonus as timely and thoughtful, noting that it would help them settle outstanding bills and prepare adequately for Christmas and the New Year. They also expressed gratitude for the early payment of the December 2025 salary, which they said had eased financial pressures and lifted morale across ministries, departments and agencies.
