In a move aimed at recognizing and appreciating the hard work and dedication of civil servants, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has given his approval for the payment of a wage award and a 50% December bonus to all civil servants in the state. The announcement was made by the Head of Service, Bode Agoro, through a circular titled ‘2023 End of Year Bonus and Implementation of Wage Awards,’ dated December 14, 2023.
This significant decision extends to political appointees, public servants, employees of Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas, Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB), and the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC). The end-of-year bonus, equivalent to 50% of the basic salary, is a gesture of gratitude from the state government towards the workforce for their continuous contributions to the progress and development of Lagos State.

Governor Sanwo-Olu’s approval also encompasses the implementation of the Wage Award (PALLIATIVE) while awaiting the review of the National Minimum Wage. The state government has taken a notable step by ensuring that the 50% bonus and the wage award will be classified as a ‘NON TAXABLE ELEMENT,’ providing additional relief to the beneficiaries.
The circular states, “As part of the present Administration’s continuous appreciation of the contributions of all Public Servants towards the advancement of the State and its unrelenting commitment to the welfare of its workforce, it is hereby notified for general information that Mr. Governor has graciously approved the payment of 50% of Basic Salary as End-of-Year Bonus for all Political Appointees and Public Servants, including employees of Local Governments & Local Council Development Areas, Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) and Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC).”
