Subsidy removal: Makinde extends monthly wage award to civil servants, pensioners

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has announced a six-month extension of the payment of N25,000 and N15,000 wage awards to civil servants and pensioners in the state.

Makinde announced this on Friday during the commissioning of the 12.5-kilometre Challenge-Odo Ona Elewe-Apata Road in Ibadan.

The event was attended by Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and other political officeholders in the state.

Makinde, while speaking, said that the extension became important to allow the Federal Government to conclude negotiations with the labour unions on a minimum wage.
