Ogun govt. pays 40 per cent peculiar allowance to workers
The Ogun government says it has commenced the payment of the 40 per cent peculiar allowance to civil servants in the state.
Tokunbo Talabi, the Secretary to the Ogun Government, disclosed this in an interview in Abeokuta on Thursday.
Mr Talabi emphasised that the peculiar allowance was paid to fulfil the promise by Governor Dapo Abiodun-led administration to cushion the effect of the economic hardship.
He explained that the purpose of the allowance was to boost the capacity of the workers for better productivity.
The SSG said the conversion of the government buses to compressed natural gas by the present administration would be an added advantage to ease workers’ and residents’ mobility.
“The plan to make the payment is what was agreed on with labour unions to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.
“Apart from the payment of N10,000 to the workers in the state for three months, a peculiar allowance is also being paid to every civil servant,” he said.
The secretary to the state government noted that the present administration remained committed to recognising and appreciating the diligent efforts of the workers.
