The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has urged Nigerians to support the Federal Government’s reforms, saying the administration will deploy more resources into making the citizens cope with the subsidy removal.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting on Monday evening, the governor said the policy was the lesser evil open to the Federal Government.
He added that other options such as printing new currency on a large scale to fund fuel subsidy would crumble the economy and subject the people to greater harm.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, and made available to the press on Tuesday, AbdulRazaq said, “At the moment, we will concentrate more on funding welfare programmes in order to keep the economy going and helping the people to cope with the temporary discomfort. This means we’ll slow down on other things that do not specifically address this need.
