Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has extended the one-day-off-duty work palliative and the ₦10,000 monthly transport allowance for eligible public and civil servants in the state for another three months.
The l measures, which will run from July to September 2026, are aimed at easing the burden of rising transportation costs on workers and encouraging improved service delivery.
Abiodun had earlier introduced the palliative package for the period of April to June in response to the increase in the pump price of petrol.
Under the extension, workers covered by the arrangement will continue to enjoy one day off duty each week, while receiving the monthly transport allowance.
However, the concession does not apply to officers on shift duties or personnel providing essential services, including medical workers, judicial staff, teaching and non-teaching personnel in educational institutions, security operatives, political office holders, accounting officers, directors and other officials receiving Special Responsibility Allowances.
In a circular, the State Head of Service, Iskeel Saka, urged eligible workers to take advantage of the arrangement without compromising service delivery.
The Ogun State Government reaffirmed its commitment to workers’ welfare, pledging to continue implementing policies that improve productivity while reducing the economic challenges faced by the workforce.
