For the first time, pensioners have also been included in this initiative.
The bonus aims to help workers and retirees enjoy a more comfortable holiday season.
In his Christmas message, Governor Fubara called on the people of Rivers State to promote peace, unity, and love throughout the festive period and into the new year.
He also reassured residents that 2025 would bring new opportunities for growth and fulfillment despite the current economic challenges.
