JUST IN: Distribute Palliatives In FCT – Tinubu Orders

President Bola Tinubu has directed that residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) get a fresh round of palliatives in an effort to lessen the impact of the removal of fuel subsidies on the high cost of living.

This was said on Wednesday, March 6, at an urgent meeting with stakeholders by Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, the minister of state for the Federal Capital Territory.

Mahmoud stated that the emergency meeting’s goal was to form committees to guarantee transparency in the delivery of palliative care.

She said: “Yesterday we received this letter from the Presidency through the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and we all know that some few days ago we were at Gwagwa where our warehouses were attacked by some youths in that area and then all we have there has been packed including the roofing, the gates and everything, and machinery that we used to make some of the foods that we were keeping there.

“So along that way God Almighty has given us a solution, everybody knows how Mr President Bola Tinubu has been going up and down to see how he will cushion the hardship in the country, especially the issue of food security, we have been having meetings with the ministry of agriculture to get a lot that we have to distribute to people, to tell us how Mr President has his in the heart.

“So along this way that the honourable minister of FCT, Barrister Nyesome Wike, was addressed through this letter to call an important meeting with important stakeholders that were highlighted, they are here to see that we arrange some committees for transparency in the distribution of these palliatives that we are about to get, and then the preparation that we need to have before these items are given to FCT for distribution.
