Oyo govt approves N10,000 ‘Christmas turkey’ bonus to pensioners

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has approved a ‘Christmas turkey’ bonus of N10,000 for every pensioner in the state.

The governor said it was to assist retired workers, who served the state meritoriously, to have a good yuletide.

Makinde, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa, said the package tagged “Christmas Turkey Bonus,” is coming days after the government paid December 2022 salaries.

The government had also approved the payment of 13th month salary, which Makinde said would be paid on or before December 31.

He added that the bonus is a token of his appreciation and assistance to aged and retired citizens, who had served the state meritoriously for decades.
