Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, unveiled a 12-member committee in Ilorin on Tuesday to distribute Federal Government’s N5 billion fuel subsidy removal palliatives to the needy in the state.
He assured that the distribution of the palliatives would be nonpartisan, transparent and credible.
“It is important to clarify that food palliatives are only a stopgap measure to show empathy and reach out to the people, especially the most vulnerable ones among us. “Government is committing huge resources to hasten mass production and use of gas and electricity-powered vehicles nationwide as well boosting agricultural productivity and manufacturing.
“I plead that we work together as one people bounded by one destiny to get over this current challenge,’’ AbdulRazaq admonished. Responding on behalf of members of the committee, the commissioner of police commended the state government for finding the committee worthy and for having trust in its members.“We shall abide by the terms of reference and we will come clean with members of the public to let them know what we are doing,’’ Adelesi assured.All rights reserved.
