The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has approved a ₦10,000 salary top-up for workers in the state to ease the burden of rising fuel prices.
The decision comes amid growing economic pressure triggered by recent increases in petrol prices, which have significantly affected transportation costs and the general cost of living.
According to reports, the intervention is aimed at providing immediate relief to civil servants while broader economic measures are being considered.
The move follows previous welfare initiatives by the Makinde administration, including wage awards introduced after the removal of fuel subsidy to cushion hardship on workers.
Government officials noted that the top-up is part of efforts to support workers and maintain productivity despite the challenging economic environment.
Analysts say the development reflects increasing pressure on state governments to implement welfare measures as inflation and fuel-related costs continue to rise across the country.
The salary top-up is expected to complement existing welfare policies and help workers cope with the ongoing economic realities.
