… hazard bonus for medical staff also cleared
THE Ondo State Government has spent N3.129bn to offset outstanding allowances of workers in the state.
According to a statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, the payment was made during the last Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
“Also cleared were the hazard bonuses for health and medical workers,” he said.
He explained that the payment was the outcome of last month’s (July) meeting between Governor Akeredolu and union leaders in the state.
He said Akeredolu had, last week, approved that the outstanding allowances be paid sequel to the conclusion of the series of meetings brokered by the Head of Service, Dare Aragbaiye.
“Part of the resolution was that the July allocation from the Federation Account should be used to offset these allowances. Some of the already cleared outstanding allowances include: deductions, leave bonuses as well as pensions,” the statement added.
