Making the announcement on his official Twitter (X) handle on Monday, Governor Seyi Makinde tweeted:
“This morning, we addressed Oyo State workers and labour union leaders at the State Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan. I informed them that our administration had approved the payment of N15,000 to each pensioner on the State’s payroll and N25,000 to each civil servant. The payment will commence from October 2023 for six months.
“I said that we would work towards a more sustainable solution for our workers within the six months. Our administration will continue to prioritise the welfare of workers while at the same time ensuring that we also prioritise the needs of the good people of Oyo State.”
