Engr. Seyi Makinde, the executive Governor of Oyo State has disclosed that a flat rate of #10,000 will be added to the salary of workers in the state to assuage the effect of the recent hike in fuel prices.
The governor who made this disclosure at an event held on Monday on Ibadan explained that the initiative which will kick-off by April will be for an initial period of three months.
“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.
