Makinde said the initiative was part of the Oyo State Government’s strategic response to prevailing economic challenges, particularly the rising cost of transportation driven by the ongoing energy crisis.

Makinde added that the challenge had significantly affected workers’ welfare and productivity.

He said the support scheme was aimed at easing the financial strain on civil servants while sustaining efficient service delivery across ministries, departments, and agencies.
