Governor Makinde Approves ₦10,000 Monthly Transport Support for Oyo Civil Servants Amid Fuel Crisis
Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has approved a ₦10,000 monthly transportation support allowance for civil servants across the state, to be implemented for an initial period of three months.
The announcement was made on Monday during the supervision of the YEAP-SAFER support disbursement and stakeholder engagement programme at the Fashola Agribusiness Hub in Oyo.
Governor Makinde explained that the initiative is part of the state government’s strategic response to prevailing economic challenges, particularly the rising cost of transportation driven by the ongoing energy crisis, which has significantly affected workers’ welfare and productivity.
He noted that the support scheme is aimed at easing the financial strain on civil servants while sustaining efficient service delivery across ministries, departments, and agencies.
The governor added that the ₦10,000 transport allowance will take effect from this month, with detailed disbursement guidelines to be communicated through appropriate government channels in due course.
