Oyo State Government says it has approved the immediate release of a car loan for primary school teachers across all zones in the state.
In a statement by the Coordinating Director, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Jacob Dairo, the loan is coming as a palliative to the teachers.
He said the loan, which was to be disbursed in tranches, is to cushion the effects of the economic crisis in the nation on the teachers.
Earlier, the chief of staff to the governor and chairman Segun Ogunwuyi urged residents particularly civil servants and students to ignore an online platform asking them to fill out a purported application form to benefit from the government’s 10,000 support fund.
According to him, plans of the government to alleviate the suffering of the people are in order and will be properly coordinated and publicized in line with government policies.
