Data obtained was analysed using inferential statistic such as One sample T-Test and Linear Regression technique. The results showed that both financial and non-financial motivation have positively and significantly influenced on performance given ( t-v = 11.583 P< 0.05) and ( t-v = 9.392; P< 0.05) respectively. The study concluded financial motivation characterized by wages, salaries, housing allowance, transport allowance, gain sharing and overtime allowance invariably have positive effect on performance of civil servant in the area of output. This study therefore recommended that Government should ensure that remunerations like salaries and other allowances are commensurate with the work done as this would encourage civil servants to work hard towards achieving ministries objectives.
