Governor Seyi Makinde, during a dinner in Saki also disclosed that he will begin the payment of 13th-month salary to Civil servants next week.
Governor Makinde who went on an inspection tour of the ongoing Rehabilitation of Oyo State Agribusiness Development Agency (OYSADA) Headquarters in Saki, and rehabilitation of the proposed Saki infectious disease center as well as the Saki Township Stadium, on Friday affirmed the need for stronger security in the state.
According to the governor, adequate security checkpoints on roads that connect the state to other parts of the country will assist in addressing insecurity challenges in the pacesetter state.
