Seyi Makinde, the Oyo State governor, on Monday, approved hazard allowance for personnel of the State Road Traffic Management Authority, with effect from Thursday, August 1, 2024.

Makinde charged the newly-recruited officers of the Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA) to contribute their quota to the development of the state through diligent and dedicated service.

He also inaugurated the state Head of Service, Olubunmi Oni, two permanent secretaries and 47 others as Marshals.

The step, according to the governor, would enable the personnel to contribute their quota to the development of the state through diligent and dedicated service.

On our part as an administration, we will continue to prioritise your welfare as we have always done for all our workers since we assumed office in 2019.

You asked for hazard allowance and I agree with you that you face quite a lot of hazards. The work we have asked you to do is fraught with a lot of hazards. So, your hazard allowance is approved and will be effective August 1, 2024. I want to wish you well and thank you for the work you are doing for our state,” he said.

The governor, therefore, advised them not to misplace their priorities or focus on enriching themselves unjustly.

He also charged the new OYRTMA Marshals to work effectively and with absolute commitment.

here today at the passing-out parade of 500 newly recruited OYRTMA officers. Our presence here indicates how important this exercise is to our administration.

“So, this recruitment is to strengthen the capacity of OYRTMA, because when the agency is strengthened, the rule of law in the state is strengthened.

We want a state where all laws will be obeyed, especially traffic laws. To achieve this, we need to sensitise our people and enforce the laws. To sensitise our people, we formed the Oyo State Mobilisation Agency for Socio-Economic Development. They will be going round to let our people understand the law,” he added.
