Ogun State public sector allowances
Entities: Ogun State · Dapo Abiodun · Nigerian Medical Association · Dr. Luqman Ogunjimi
Overview
In mid‑July 2026 Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun extended a one‑day‑off‑duty work palliative and introduced a ₦10,000 monthly transport allowance for eligible public and civil servants in Ogun State, covering July through September. The measure built on a similar scheme from April to June that responded to rising petrol prices and excluded shift‑duty and essential‑service personnel.
A few weeks later, the governor approved additional compensation for doctors in the state’s public health sector. The Professional Allowance Table (PAT) was aligned with the federal pay structure, and a Specialist Allowance began disbursing in July 2026. Medical officials welcomed the move, citing morale, staff retention, and the acute shortage of doctors—about 1,200 for nine million residents—while urging continued focus on healthcare workers’ welfare.
