The Chairman of the Palliative Committee on Subsidy Removal and Kebbi state governor Nasir Idris, has assured Nigerians that efforts were on to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal.
Governor Idris gave the assurance when members of the committee met in Abuja on Saturday.
This is contained in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Ahmed Idris.
The meeting had in attendance Governors Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, Charles Soludo of Anambra, Uba Sani of Kaduna and Hyacindu Alia of Benue, as well representatives of the Organised Labour and Civil Society Organisations.
The Chairman assured that Nigerians would have a cause to smile soon as the committee was doing its best to bring succour and ease current difficulties.
You will recall that on June 19, the federal government and the leadership of the NLC and the TUC agreed that all the issues and demands related to palliatives should be concluded within eight weeks.
