Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has approved a mouth-watering package for all civil servants and local government employees in the State.
Makinde, who announced this at a programme held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Monday, explained that the financial intervention was specifically designed to cushion the economic impact of the recent nationwide increase in premium motor spirit (PMS) prices, ensuring that the state’s dedicated workforce can navigate the rising cost of transportation and essential services.
Under the new directive, all eligible workers would receive a ₦10,000 monthly subsidy in addition to their regular salaries, effective from April 2026.
The support package is expected to run for an initial duration of three months, with the administration committed to reviewing the economic climate at the end of the period to determine further necessary actions.
The governor while announcing the financial intervention said: “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.
