The Ekiti State Government has assured the citizens that the pains being inflicted on them by skyrocketing prices of food and other essential commodities will soon be over.
The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, gave the assurance through a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Victor Ogunje, stating that Governor Biodun Oyebanji and his team are thinking outside the box to cushion the effects of the current hyper- inflation on Ekiti residents.
She disclosed that the approval of a sum of three hundred and thirty-one million for local governments to purchase palliative materials and the constitution of Price Control and Regulation Committee by the state, were sufficient to convince the citizens that landmark measures were being devised to overcome the situation.
“Please, let us be patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. You all knew that he just came into government. By the grace of God and your support, all these pains will soon be over.
“In Ekiti State, your governor is not resting. He is working round the clock to support President Tinubu to address the current situation. You know he loves you and he is ever ready to make you happy. Don’t worry, all these crises will be addressed”.
The government in its message of hope said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would take all necessary economic and political measures to put a soothing balm on the pains of Nigerians, by initiating permanent and palliative policies to make the economy stronger and return normalcy to the system.
In spite of the economic crunch, the government urged the citizens to continue to prioritise personal and environmental hygiene for improved wellness and life expectancy.
