Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has approved a N150,000 Christmas bonus for all civil servants in the state.
The governor announced this during a church service at the Government House Chapel, Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State, on Sunday, December 14, 2025.
Nwifuru said the gesture aligned with his administration’s unwavering commitment to improving the welfare of workers in the state.
According to him, this is in spite of the insignificant revenue that had accrued to Ebonyi State in the past one year.
On the forthcoming local government election in the state, he promised a level-playing ground for all the aspirants.

Nwifuru declared that he had “no preferred candidate” and had “anointed no one” for the exercise.
“As far as I am concerned, the will of the people must prevail. The people must choose their representatives without interference from any quarters,” Nwifuru said.
The governor reiterated his directive to political appointees wishing to contest the local government election to resign in line with the extant electoral guidelines.
He added: “It is not my duty to pick you as the chairman of your local government area
“If you are contesting for the chairmanship position in the next year’s council’s election as an appointee, you must resign as stipulated by the law.”
