Seyi Makinde has approved a N10,000 salary top-up for state workers to cushion the economic effects following the rise in fuel prices, which has negatively affected transportation as motorists increase fares.
According to insider sources, the salary top-up will take effect from April 2026 to June 2026, for three months.
“I’m happy to announce that all workers in Oyo State and the local government starting from April, at least for the first three months, will be given N10,000 in addition to their monthly salary as petrol/transportation support. All workers, everybody. It is a flat rate. Maybe it would be extended,” Makinde stated.
According to him, “Those who are not working with the Oyo State government may also benefit from it. We will handle it properly to ensure it is all-inclusive.”
Recall that in late 2024, the Oyo State Government approved a minimum wage of ₦80,000, and workers in the state started receiving the increment in 2025.
