The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has introduced measures to alleviate the financial burden on civil servants in the state. A weekly day off and a N10,000 monthly transport allowance have been approved for workers, effective from April 2026, for a period of three months. This decision aims to mitigate the effects of rising fuel prices and the subsequent increase in transportation costs and cost of living.
The Head of Service, Kehinde Onasanya, announced the development, stating that the intervention is expected to provide relief for workers while also improving productivity. However, certain categories of workers, including medical personnel, judicial staff, and security personnel, will be exempt from the weekly day-off arrangement, although they will still receive the transport allowance. Accounting officers in various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies will determine the specific day off for eligible workers to ensure that service delivery is not disrupted.
