has announced his administration’s short-term plans to mitigate the effects of the fuel subsidy removal on residents of the state.

He promised that his government would pay the two months’ deductions owed the workers with their August salary.“Our government remains open to parleying with labour to ensure that the rights of the workers of Oyo State are protected.“The union leaders should return to the negotiating table to discuss any increases in salary or possible harmonisation of pension payments,” the governor stated.

“In reaching these decisions, we considered the importance of using these economic packages to stimulate our economy and bring about sustainable development,” Makinde stated. He stated that under the SAfEr package, agro-preneurs trained under the Youth Entrepreneurship in Agribusiness Project , who have established agric-businesses, would receive enterprise support of N500 million.

”They will be provided with food relief packages and 100,000 health insurance packages will be rolled out for the vulnerable in the society. “We will be providing health insurance for 100,000 of our most vulnerable citizens. We will be paying their one-year health insurance premium under the Oyo State Health Insurance Agency scheme so that they have access to quality healthcare without paying out of pocket.
