Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has pledged to continue the tradition of paying the 13th-month salary to workers in the state, marking the fifth consecutive year of this special payment.
He assured that this extra salary would be disbursed before December 31, despite already releasing the December 2023 salary and a wage award of N25,000 to workers and N15,000 to pensioners.
Addressing attendees at the Oyo State’s 2023 Christmas Carol Service and Nine Lessons Service, Governor Makinde reiterated his commitment to the welfare of workers, infrastructure development, and various crucial sectors within the state.
Expressing gratitude to his team and the civil servants for their dedication and contributions to the state’s success, Governor Makinde acknowledged the joint efforts behind the achievements his administration has seen.
He affirmed, “For four years running, we paid the 13th-month salary. And again, we will pay the 13th-month salary before the end of the year.”
Reflecting on his re-election and governance, Governor Makinde attributed his success not to political godfatherism but to his unwavering trust in God. He also extended gratitude to religious leaders for their prayers and support during his reelection bid.
