The festive season has brought good tidings for civil servants in Oyigbo Local Government Area as the executive chairman, Hon. Dr. Gift Okere, approved a ₦30,000 Christmas bonus for all council staff.
This unexpected gesture shows the chairman’s commitment to staff welfare and his understanding of the economic challenges workers faced during the holidays.
Ekeke Prisca Nkiru, Senior Special Assistant to the Chairman on Media, made the announcement via her social media page on Friday.
According to her, the bonus is seen as a morale booster and a recognition of the vital role council employees play in the smooth running of the local government.
Gift Okere’s proactive governance sets Oyigbo apart
The decision to disburse the ₦30,000 Christmas bonus highlights Hon. Dr. Gift Okere’s proactive leadership style.
Unlike many local government administrations, the Oyigbo chairman has prioritised the well-being of his workforce during a financially demanding season.
This initiative follows closely after Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, approved a ₦100,000 Christmas bonus for civil servants, public servants, and pensioners across the state.
By aligning with the governor’s example, Dr. Okere has reaffirmed his dedication to supporting Oyigbo’s workforce while strengthening their trust in his administration.
Staff morale and welfare take centre stage
Beyond financial relief, the bonus payment is a strategic move to inspire loyalty and enhance productivity among Oyigbo council staff.
It reflects Dr. Okere’s broader vision for fostering a motivated and efficient local government workforce.
Recall that on December 26th, Dr. Gift Okere embraced the Christmas spirit by distributing 1,000 bags of rice and 10 cows to the 10 wards in the local government.
