The Oyo State Government has began subsiding some food items, such as bags of rice, vegetable oil, chicken, and other essential food items for civil servants in the state.
The Oyo State Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, December 14, 2025.
Oyelade said the initiative was part of the state government’s efforts to cushion the effects of economic challenges on workers and ensure a more comfortable festive season.
“The intervention aligns with the welfare-driven agenda of the state government, aimed at improving the standard of living of workers and promoting food affordability,” the commissioner added.
Oyelade stated that the initiative driven by the Agricultural Credit Corporation of Oyo State (ACCOS) will sell the subsidised food items valued at N100 million to civil and public servants across Oyo State.
