Akwa Ibom State Governor, Uno Eno, has rewarded about 52,000 civil servants with N1.4 billion cash gifts as bonuses to motivate them for effective service delivery.
He announced this at a thanksgiving service marking the end of the 2024 Public Service Week at the International Worship Centre in Uyo, the state’s capital.
He directed the Accountant-General of the state to ensure the release and payment of cash as a bonus to each of the 52,000 civil servants across the various tiers of the state government in the first week of July to commemorate the celebration. He also charged the HoS to put checks in place to discourage the abuse of the monthly farm days declared by the state government for workers to engage in farming, stressing that “if 52,000 workers utilise the work-free days to farm, Akwa Ibom will be better off in terms of food sufficiency.”
