Fuel subsidy removal: Gov Buni to rollout intra-town buses to cushion hardship

Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has unveiled palliatives for the state’s people to cushion the hardships occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidies.

NAN reports that Alhaji Mamman Mohammed, Director General, Press and Media Affairs to the Governor, disclosed this Saturday in Damaturu.

The governor said the government would look into measures to support farmers, traders, and the people’s transport, food and other essential needs.

“The government is conscious of the hardship caused by the subsidy removal and will look into these critical areas to provide palliatives to our people.

“We will look into ways of supporting inter- and intra-town transportation and other necessary services to our people.

“Similarly, the government would work out measures to provide shuttle buses to students of tertiary institutions at affordable costs,” Buni said.

DAILY POST recalls that the National Executive Council resolved in a meeting in Abuja on plans to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal hardship on the masses.
