Oyo government were broke cutting salaries by 50

I think there may be some misinformation here.

Oyo State, one of the 36 states in Nigeria, has not cut salaries by 50%. In fact, the state government has been making efforts to improve the welfare of its workers.

In 2020, the Oyo State Government increased the minimum wage for its workers from N18,000 to N30,000 per month, in line with the federal government's directive. This move was aimed at improving the living standards of public servants in the state.

While it's true that the state government has been facing financial challenges, there has been no official announcement or implementation of a 50% salary cut for its workers.

It's possible that you may have come across a misleading or outdated report. I'd be happy to help you verify any information you may have come across.
