According to PM News, the 2025 Workers' Day is tagged “Reclaiming the Civic Space in the Midst of Economic Hardship”.
Why Nwifuru gift N10,000 to Ebonyi workers
Governor Nwifuru maintained that he remained indebted to the workers in the state and that they would remain the symbol of excellence to his administration. He noted that the celebration was to reflect the contributions of the workers to nation-building.
He said that his government understood the challenges of the workers and expressed a commitment to confront them. He said that his administration would promote civil space for the workers.
The governor subsequently described the workers as partners in progress for the betterment of the state. Governor Nwifuru, in his first year of 2023, announced a N100,000 Christmas bonus for workers in the state. A development that was highly commended.
In the following year, Governor Nwifuru also announced a Christmas bonus of N150,000 for workers in the state, making it the second consecutive year he announced a bonus for the workers. Thus, the declaration of the N10,000 "give away", a term used to describe gifts in Nigeria, was one of the kind gestures from the governor.
Ebonyi began implementing a new minimum wage
In addition to the Christmas bonus, the Ebonyi State government has also commenced the full implementation of the new minimum wage act. This move exceeds the minimum wage of ₦70,000, with an additional ₦5,000 for Ebonyi workers. This development reiterates the state government's consistency in improving workers' welfare.

As the holiday season approaches, the workers of Ebonyi State can look forward to a brighter and more prosperous future.
The Christmas bonus and the implementation of the new minimum wage act are clear indications of Governor Nwifuru's dedication to the well-being of state workers. As the state continues to prioritise workers' welfare, it is likely that Ebonyi State will become a model for other states to follow in terms of worker satisfaction and overall quality of life.
