Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has announced that all state workers will receive a N10,000 top-up on their salaries for three months.
Makinde made the disclosure during a programme held in Ibadan, the state capital, on Monday.
According to the governor, the top-up is intended to cushion the impact of the fuel price hike. It will commence in April, with the possibility of extension if the situation persists.
“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 stated.
Details of implementation will follow.
