Eko Hot Blog reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has unveiled plans to support 12 million families with N8,000 over a period of six months to lessen the hardships faced by Nigerians as a result of subsidy removal.
In a letter to the House of Representatives read by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas during plenary on Thursday, July 13, Tinubu said it was support to enable poor and vulnerable Nigerians to cope with the cost of meeting basic needs.
According to The Nation, the letter was for approval of additional financing for the national social safety net programme scaled up by the National Assembly.
