The Oyo State Government has approved the immediate release of car loans for primary school teachers, across all zones in the state.
This was disclosed in a statement on Friday in Ibadan by the coordinating Director, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Mr. Jacob Dairo.
According to the state, the loan is coming as a palliative to teachers in the state.
The statement indicates that the loan which is to be distributed in many tranches is to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy, on Oyo State primary school teachers.
The statement notes that the state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has instructed that the loan be disbursed without any favoritism.
It adds that the loan facility which is to be granted by financial institutions is to be redeemed within 40 months.
