Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has announced a N10,000 monthly salary boost for all state workers over the next three months to help offset the rising cost of fuel.
The governor made the announcement on Monday during an event in Ibadan, explaining that the allowance, which begins in April, is aimed at providing support for transportation and petrol expenses. He noted that the payment could be extended depending on economic conditions.
“I’m happy to announce that all workers in Oyo State and the local government starting from April, at least for the first three months, will be given N10,000 in addition to their monthly salary as petrol/transportation support. All workers, everybody. It is a flat rate. Maybe it would be extended.
“Those who are not working with the Oyo State government may also benefit from it. We will handle it properly to ensure it is all-inclusive. As I approach the end of my administration, one of the things I’m particularly focused on is ensuring continuity,” he said.
