The 15-man Palliative Committee on Sustainable Action for Economic Recovery (SAfER) has assured residents of Oyo State that it will start disbursement of palliatives soon.
The committee, headed by the Chief of Staff, Hon. Segun Ogunwuyi has divided itself into five sub-committees to fast-track the implementation of the palliatives, as directed by Governor Seyi Makinde.

Acknowledging that the state government was aware of the anticipation by citizens to benefit from the palliatives, Ogunwuyi assured that the palliatives would be rolled out the moment the governor ratifies the final template for the implementation from members.
