GOVERNOR MAKINDE EXPANDS TRANSPORT, WELFARE SUPPORT FOR VULNERABLE CITIZENS

The Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has expressed satisfaction with the positive impact of his administration’s interventions to support the populace under the ongoing Sustainable Action for Economic Recovery project.

In a statement issued following yesterday’s Executive Council meeting, Makinde noted that his administration will persist in assisting the poorest and most vulnerable across all local government areas of Oyo State.

He said the commitment is a direct response to the hardships experienced following the removal of the fuel subsidy.

The statement added that operational routes for the 55 buses currently transporting commuters in the state have increased from 31 to 39, with over 30,000 commuters benefiting from a 50 per cent reduction in fare daily.
