Naira Crisis : Kwara Govt Announces Support Plan For Citizens, Residents
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Thursday approved the support plan for various vulnerable groups in the state which was done in response to the current scarcity of petrol and new naira notes in the country and its concomitant hardships.
Governor Abdulrazaq’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rafiu Ajakaye in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that these will include cash transfer to widows, pensioners, transporters, marketers, smallholder farmers, and other vulnerable people which will be done through the Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) for proper coordination and accountability.
‘The Governor has therefore directed KWASSIP to work out the details and deploy this modest support as soon as possible to mitigate the effects of the situation..
The Governor has also directed the deployment of free buses along specific routes used by students and staff of tertiary institutions in the capital city where the effects of the scarcity of petrol have been most pronounced. Further details of this palliative will be released by relevant government departments/committees. The free bus rides for the students will begin on Monday, February 13, 2023’ the statement said- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
