Subsidy: Governor AbdulRazaq Rolls Out Comprehensive Palliative For Kwara Residents, Workers
Eko Hot Blog reports that Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved a slew of multibillion naira palliatives to neutralise the effects of recent removal of fuel subsidy, cutting across different sectors and demographies of the state.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye disclosed this at a news briefing on Monday morning that on top of the palliatives is a cash support of N10,000 for every public sector worker in the state, which will begin this month (July) and last until a new minimum wage is introduced to enable workers cope with the economic shocks created by the subsidy removal.
It would be recalled that the governor had earlier reduced workdays for civil servants from five to three weekdays.
Also on June 11, the governor approved the deployment of government buses to support the movement of students and workers in public tertiary institutions within Ilorin, the capital city, and its environs.
