Vice President Kashim Shettima has flagged off the Sokoto State Government’s distribution of palliatives worth N5.1 billion to residents of the state.
The palliative distribution is in fulfilment of the fuel subsidy removal policy by the Federal Government, which approved over N180 billion as palliatives to the 36 state governments to procure grains and other agricultural inputs for residents.
Flagging off the exercise on Monday, Shettima restated the commitment of President Bola Tinubu to prioritise the welfare of Nigerians in his programmes and policies.
