Rivers State workers, government employees and retired workers are getting a Christmas gift of N100,000 each from Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The state’s Head of Service, George Nweke, announced this on Tuesday night.

Nweke explained that this money is meant to help people with their Christmas expenses, and it will be paid right away. The bonus will go to workers in all government offices and departments, as well as to people who have retired from government service.

“His Excellency approved this on Monday, 23 December 2024, and has directed its immediate implementation to ensure civil servants have a wonderful yuletide celebration,” Nweke said.

This is the second time Governor Fubara has given workers a N100,000 Christmas bonus, which is more than Nigeria’s minimum wage. What’s special this time is that retired workers (pensioners) are also getting the bonus for the first time.

According to Nweke, this bonus is part of the governor’s ‘Rivers First’ plan, which aims to improve the quality of life for people in Rivers State.

Christmas Day and New Year Day are by far the best days in the year! Congratulations to Rivers workers.

Wow! Congratulations to my people.
Other governors should come and learn.

Good and nice

That's the kind of news we want to be reading from Rivers state

I commend the govt of Rivers state for this good gesture.

Allex Otti can emulate this by paying at least 20k to Abians, which is just 2k above their minimum wage of 18k.

Express yourself independently without always attacking others senselessly

This is the return he would have been given to Wike to drink 40 years old wine. Well-done Fubara for not helping Wike to damage his liver the more

Good one

For The Second Year In A Row, Fubara and Rivers State Have Achieved What The Centre Has Never And May Never Ever Achieve For Federal Workers.

Revenue generated by the states are not the the same that's what you should know. Don't compare the gap too far..👍

Wao FUBARA 100k, he mean business, the people first, even pensioners benefited, is amazing that a governor will do this even when we know that if he didn't do it heaven will not fall. God bless u Mr governor for caring for welfare of Rivers workers. I hope Lagos follow fubara.

Thanks God for the people that allocation was not blocked. Congratulations to RIVERS workers.

This money would have been used to fund Wike's political structure if they had not fallen out leaving little for the people of the state.
When a govt knows its fate lies on the peoples wish, it will sit up and do the right thing but Nigerians are blinded by tribalism and religion, The current APC govt are busy buying off INEC and the judiciary while the miscreants are hailing them in the name of tribalism and religion.

So this kind money dey Rivers?

Quite pathetic

Unfortunately, everything is on a lawless foundation, as he is still operating without a budget. The lawlessness is what embarrasses me about my great state in the hands of Fubara. Present the budget to the legitimate house led by the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule.

Thank God for the fallout with Wine if not na there this money for dey go and the state will be suffering for it

Soludooooooo
Really fall my hand, just talking about promotion and leave allowance that most parastatals won't benefit from.

Good move by Fugbara, Notin for WIKEd people

Nice
