The Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, has announced the additional payment of N10,000 to the salary of the state workers.
The governor made the known during the 2024 Workers Day celebration held at Pa Oruta Ngele Stadium in Abakaliki, the state capital.
Nwifuru in his address to mark the 2024 Workers Day celebration, emphasised that civil servants have remained partners in progress.
He said that his administration will continue to sustain and deepen the existing friendly working environment and industrial harmony, aimed at increasing the productivity of workforce in particular and improving good governance.
The additional N10,000 will make it N20,000 increase that Ebonyi workers are getting in less than one year of the Nwifuru-led administration.
Recall that in July 2023, barely one month in office, Governor Nwifuru added N10,000 to the salary of the state workers, noting that he will prioritize the welfare of the state workers.
