The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq,has approved palliatives for various vulnerable groups in the state to cushion the effects of the ongoing fuel scarcity and the currency change in the country.
In the same vein, he directed 50 per cent cut from the original cost of fare in the state transport buses for students and directed the state Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) to begin cash transfer to widows, pensioners, transporters, marketers, smallholder farmers, and other vulnerable people for proper coordination and accountability.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Rafiu Ajakaye, disclosed this in a statement he signed and made available to Journalists in Ilorin.
“The governor has directed the Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) to begin the cash transfer to widows, pensioners, transporters, marketers, smallholder farmers, and other vulnerable people 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 current situation.
“The governor has also directed the deployment of buses along specific routes used by students and staff of tertiary institutions in the capital city where the effects of the fuel scarcity have been most pronounced.
“Further details of this palliative will be released by relevant government departments and committees.
“The bus rides, with at least 50 percent cut from the original cost (fare) for the students, will begin on February 13, 2023,”he said.
Our Correspondent reports that the state government is coming on the heels of the heightened social and economic effects of the twin problems, not only in Kwara but other states of the federation.
