This program was designed to provide support to vulnerable households affected by the recent decision to remove petrol subsidies, which has caused some discomfort among Nigerians.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, the Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, Dele Alake, reiterated the administration’s commitment to prioritise the welfare and security of Nigerians, emphasising that the program will be reviewed in light of public feedback.
President Tinubu’s administration believes in the principle of “when there is prohibition, there must be provision.” Consequently, following the cessation of the subsidy, the government has introduced a comprehensive range of reliefs aimed at alleviating the impact on citizens.
