Subsidy removal: Abiodun Approves N10,000 For Workers, Pensioners
...workers to have reduced working days

Ogun State government on Monday announced a series of palliatives for civil servants, pensioners and the people of the state to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on fuel.

Top on the list of palliatives is the approval of N10,000 for civil servants and pensioners every month, according to a statement by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Tokunbo Talabi.
The government also approved hazard allowance for health and medical personnel, while food palliative was also approved for the most vulnerable citizens.

The statement reads: "In line with the current realities in the country and commitment of Ogun State Government to ameliorate the effects of removal of fuel subsidy on the well-being of the good people of Ogun State, the administration of His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has approved the following measures for immediate implementation:

"Cash palliative of N10,000 for each public servant including pensioners to enable workers to cope with the economic shocks occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy for 3 months in the first instance with effect from July 2023.

"Approval of hazard allowance for all health and medical personnel in the State.

"Approval of peculiar allowance for public servants in the State.

"Immediate release of Letters of Promotion in respect of 2021 and 2022.

"Payment of March and April 2023 leave bonuses for public servants in the State.
"Immediate cash-backing for the quarterly payment of gratuities to pensioners.

"The Ministries, Departments and Agencies are to work out modalities of ensuring that 20% of their staff strengths are off-duty daily to ease the effect of the recent increase in fuel price among public servants.

"Commencement of food palliatives to the vulnerable (rice, garri, beans, maize etc)."
The statement noted that Gateway Trading Company has been directed to ensure the establishment of distribution outlets across the state, while items must be sold at the rate obtainable before the fuel price increase.

"The State is also establishing a commodity exchange to ensure optimization of current and future investment in the Agro-allied sector of the economy in line with President Tinubu’s war on food insecurity," the statement added.
Also, fertilizers and other farm inputs are to be supplied to farmers at subsidized and controlled prices.

The statement also reiterated the commitment of the state government to the implementation of the Energy Transition Strategy with the launch of electric motorbikes and tricycles.

Other measures include the commencement of conversion of State Mass Transit buses to CNG including staff buses and current public transportation buses in circulation to reduce the cost of transportation by charging rates comparable to what was obtained before deregulation, acquisition of additional new CNG buses to ease transportation in the State charging fares comparable to what obtained before the fuel subsidy removal, immediate Road Infrastructure Intervention, with all the local governments working with Community Development Associations and Community Leaders to submit three roads that require immediate intervention as part of the palliative programmes and support for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises through Special Schemes to boost production capacity and employment generation.

Although it won't help but try to add more effort

This governors are just doing anyhow. They won't pay the minimum wage after this. What is 10k compare to the price of petrol. Sanwo olu should not try this.

You purposely kept their promotion letter since 2021 so that you keep on paying them the same peanut...una wickedness go fear devil last last when una meet am in hell fire

What is all this 10k handouts being given by these govs?
You refused to pay workers their salaries and allowances at the right time but doing eye service of 10k.
Implement new minimum wage and give workers their arrears from 2019 when the bill was signed instead of treating workers like peasants!!
Most of these governors are so utterly heartless

Ok but he will still return Adebutu mandate back to him inshallah. Dapo Abiodun thinks he can use 10,000 naira to deceive ogun state people.

This is what the evil party is known for, they will create serious poverty and come back later to share peanut to deceive the people.

Eleyi of Ogun state himself,confused man

Well, Let’s hope he acts what he’s saying and continues with it.

Eh eh, so dapo is owing civil servants in ogun state? 😱

Awwnnn... Lucky them!

For what exactly? That's too meter when compared to the reality on ground...

people do not decide futures; they decide habits and their habits decide their future. choose your habits wisely.

Evil people , hardship never begin take life one by one. Even if subsidy is remove, why would Jagaban increase school fees too. Na people be the devil, no be spirit ...

97% citizens of Ogun are not government workers, so those ones ain't suppose to live or benefits ?


Why not increase their salaries instead,
Or it's a way to budgets money for that and loots from it?

Rubbish

All these cash incentives here and there, is it not enough to gather up and solve the root cause of the fuel importation issue?

You have raw material, but you are subsidizing finished product when you can refine the raw material yourself and over supply the market thus leading to price crash.Abi it's a sin to have common sense in Africa?

Very funny politicians.

Until an average African dies or is about to die before we become innovative 💡.

Can individuals work from home? Yes
Do everyone need to get to work before they do their respective jobs? No

I thought COVID-19 showed us a better way of working, alas, no.

🤦

Better as pensioners are included by him

Bullshit... politicians are holding capitalists mentality even with our resources

Dapo you can do better..

10k is something but small..

The money FG is releasing to these Governor is almost x2 of what they use to receive prior..

They should be able to at least distribute 20k. 10k is just too small!

.

Let's hope it's not paper work..
