Governor Seyi Makinde has announced a ₦10,000 transportation support package for civil servants in Oyo State as part of efforts to ease the burden caused by the recent surge in fuel prices. The decision comes at a time when many workers are grappling with increased commuting costs following changes in fuel pricing across the country.
According to the governor, the initiative is designed to provide immediate financial relief and ensure that civil servants are not overly strained by rising transportation expenses. He emphasized that maintaining consistent attendance and productivity in the public sector remains a top priority, noting that the support will help workers continue to carry out their responsibilities effectively.
The move also reflects the state government’s broader commitment to cushioning the economic impact of current reforms on its workforce. With transportation costs taking up a larger share of workers’ income, the allowance is expected to provide some stability and reassurance during this challenging period.
