Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has approved a Christmas bonus for all workers in the state.

Both unions expressed their gratitude to Governor Abiodun, describing him as a compassionate leader who has the welfare of workers at heart.
In separate letters, the two unions praised the governor for the approval of the Christmas bonus, which they noted as a further demonstration of his commitment to the well-being of state employees.
The TUC, in a letter signed by the Chairman of the Ogun State Council, Comrade Akeem Lasisi, commended the gesture as one that will help workers cope with the current economic challenges.
“This development was not unexpected, as we are well aware of the compassionate leadership that His Excellency embodies,” said TUC.
“The Christmas bonus package further reinforces the current administration’s reputation for delivering positive changes. This gesture will significantly alleviate the daily economic hardships that our workforce and their families face. We assure you that this unexpected display of care from His Excellency will encourage our colleagues to strive for even more outstanding achievements for our beloved state.”

He said: “Beyond rhetoric, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, has done it once more, putting smiles on our faces in this season of celebrating Jesus Christ. The bonus has brought to the state workforce two factors: economic empowerment and the faithful heart of inclusiveness.”
“We all received the payment; confidently and joyfully, we went shopping. Also, we felt that, indeed, we are included in the overall schemes of relevant stakeholders in our dear state. Honestly, we are very grateful for the timely gesture.”
Comrade Isa added: “May the good tidings of Christmas be with His Excellency always. And to his amiable cabinet, the strength to bring our state to our desired greater heights will surely be bestowed on each and every one of them.”
He ended by wishing the governor and his family continued blessings: “To you, Sir, our truest, passionate leader, the rewarding spirit of His Holiness will ever remain with you and yours.”
