Oyo state Governor, ‘Seyi Makinde in commitment to workers’ welfare has approved the payment of two months’ salary to newly recruited staff of the Oyo State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) and the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) immediately upon assumption of duty.
This decision deviates from the usual practice of a three-month probationary period before salary disbursement, ensuring that the new employees receive financial relief as they settle into their roles.
The move has sparked widespread appreciation among the newly recruited staff, as many had expected a delay in their first earnings. By opting to pay them without making them wait through the traditional probation period, Governor Makinde has once again proven his dedication to the well-being of Oyo State workers.
For many of these employees, this payment means stability, security, and a boost for their families. At a time when economic challenges are prevalent, receiving salaries promptly provides much-needed relief. This initiative aligns with the governor’s vision of a people-first administration that prioritizes the needs of its workforce.
While thousands have already received their salaries, reports indicate that some are yet to do so due to banking-related issues such as incomplete account enrichment processes or discrepancies with National Identification Number (NIN) and Bank Verification Number (BVN). These issues are expected to be resolved soon, ensuring that all eligible employees receive their due payments.
Governor Makinde’s leadership continues to set a high standard for governance, proving that he is not only focused on infrastructural development but also on improving the lives of his people. His administration remains committed to fairness, prompt payment of salaries, and policies that enhance the livelihoods of civil servants in Oyo State.
With this latest decision, the governor has once again reaffirmed his reputation as a leader who listens, understands, and acts in the best interests of his people.
