Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, has promised to pay state employees their thirteenth month’s wage before the new year.
Makinde made this declaration on Sunday night at the Remembrance Arcade, Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, during the 2023 Christmas Carol Service with the theme “Unto Us a Child is Born.”
“Tonight, we celebrated the 2023 Festival of Carols and Nine Lessons under the theme ‘Unto Us a Child is Born,'” he posted on his verified X account. It gave us another opportunity to thank God for His mercies and faithfulness during this difficult year monetarily.

“Consistent with our practice since 2019, I want to assure the civil servants in Oyo State that, once again, we will be disbursing the 13th-month salary before the close of this year,” Makinde said in an attempt to reassure the state’s civil servants.
Remarkably, since 2019, Makinde’s administration has paid the 13th month’s compensation on a regular basis.
