President Bola Tinubu’s request to allow the Federal Government take N500 billion for palliatives to Nigerians to cushion the pains of subsidy removal has been approved.
The House of Representatives at the Committee of supply approved the President’s request just as members have called for proper utilisation of the funds for the purpose it was being requested for.
Members commended the President for removing fuel subsidy and showing to Nigerians that he was a listening President.
House Leader, Julius Ihonvbare who presented the request to members for debate, said the country has a President who listens to the yearning of the people.
Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda however said the proper yardstick to measure a government is whether it is responsible and responsive.
