Labour commends Dapo Abiodun’s approval of Christmas bonus for Ogun workers

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the joint negotiation committee (JNC) in Ogun have commended Dapo Abiodun, governor of the state, for approving a Christmas bonus for the workforce.

In a letter of appreciation, Akeem Lasisi, chairman of TUC in Ogun, said the bonus payment would help workers overcome the present economic challenges.

“This development was not unexpected, as we are well aware of the compassionate leadership that His Excellency embodies,” the letter reads.

“The Christmas bonus package further reinforces the current administration’s reputation for delivering positive changes. This gesture will significantly help 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.”

Olude Isa, the JNC chairman, in a separate letter to the governor, said the bonus would enable workers to have successful celebrations.

“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,” Isa said.

“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.”
