In what was an attempt to ensure non-partisanship, fairness and equity, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on August 22 inaugurated the 12-person committee to coordinate the distribution of the palliatives purchased with the N2bn so far received from the Federal Government.
At the flag-off of the distribution in Ilorin, the state capital, the Governor said the palliatives are only a show of empathy with the people as more sustainable initiatives are being implemented in phases.

The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has approved the immediate release of the sum of N1bn, which is the first tranche of the state government’s donation to augment the palliatives package from the Federal Government.
He also approved the release of N2bn being the second tranche for the payment of gratuities to retired teachers in both state and local government service.
Speaking to newsmen on Wednesday, the governor assured the state that the distribution of palliatives to the residents would begin on Monday, September 4, 2023.
While reaffirming his commitment to the execution of the One Project Per Local Government Area Initiative, Eno said the gesture was a quick fix to ameliorate the sufferings occasioned by the fuel subsidy removal.
He said, “With the state government’s augmentation and the 3,000 bags of rice and N2 billion so far received from the Federal Government, the over 2,270 villages in the state should be hopeful to get at least 50 bags of rice each.
“I am sure each village will get at least 50 bags. We will give to the Hausa community, Yoruba community, Igbo community, Niger Delta community, and all of the security services and all other people that may not be able to get to villages. They are not village people but they are also part of us in Akwa Ibom.
