8k proposed palliative can do a lot for most Nigerian households – Gov Sule
8k proposed palliative can do a lot for most Nigerian households – Gov Sule
FCG reports that Abdullahi Sule, governor of Nasarawa state says N8000 is “a lot” to many households in the country. He disagreed with those arguing that the proposed N8,000 palliative by the FG won’t do much to cushion the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy on poor Nigerians.
This he said during an interview with Channels TV on Friday.
President Bola Tinubu last week, have asked the national assembly to approve an $800 million loan to alleviate the hardship induced by the removal of subsidy on petrol.
Adding his voice to the debate, Sule said the proposed amount is significant to “so many other people who are from very poor families”.
The governor said the task of the government is to identify these families.
N8000 may not be so much money to some people, but it is a lot to so many other people who are from very poor families that don’t see N8000 every month. So, the only thing is that let us identify those families.”
