Governor Seyi Makinde has authorized the regularization and integration of 129 floating staff members from the former Oyo State Agricultural Development Program into the state civil service.
He said, “The reabsorbed 129 staff would henceforth enjoy their promotions and other entitlements for civil servants. The governor, by this action, is being consistent with his attitude of empathy for the civil servants who have procedural, legal or other issues with the system.”
In another development, Musibau Babatunde, the state Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, said that the state council approved an investment of ₦691,307,39.86 in Wema Bank’s Right Issuance Program.
“Many states are preoccupied with obtaining loans whereas Oyo is one of the rare states that are investing for the future of the state. This investment will help the government to prepare and secure the financial future of the state.”
Babatunde also stated that the council had approved a N10 billion facility to provide counterpart money for World Bank-supported projects in the state.
He stated that the funds would be utilized as a marching grant by the government to gain access to some of the World Bank’s initiatives aimed at improving the socioeconomic well-being of state citizens.
