Nigeria At 64: Seyi Makinde Urges Oyo Residents To Keep Hope Alive

02 October

Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi

Oyo State Governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has called on residents of the state to keep hope alive as Nigeria celebrates its 64th Independence Anniversary, noting that his government would continue to take decisions that serve the best interest of the people.

The governor said as part of decisions to mitigate the economic challenges facing the people, he had directed an immediate change in the guarantor system for the state’s agricultural credit loan for small farmers.

According to him, instead of the requirement that allowed only civil servants to access the loan. Farmers seeking the loan, and residents, seeking to also, could now be guaranteed by community associations, farmers, and artisanal associations.

He equally declared a six-month extension for the state’s Sustainable Action for Economic Recovery (SAfER) Transport Scheme, which had seen intra-city and inter-city transportation in state government-owned Omituntun Buses subsidized by more than half, noting that he had further directed that a similar subsidy be introduced on trucks for crop transportation across the state.

These measures, the governor said, were introduced to reaffirm his government’s commitment to making decisions that would serve the best interests of the people amid the cloudy economic times in the country.
