Fixing roads is better than giving palliatives — Kogi Gov. Yahaya tells Pres. Tinubu

Governor Yahaya Bello of of Kogi State says construction of roads and provision of other critical infrastructure by the President Bola Tinubu administration will serve the people better than palliatives.

Bello made the statement while inspecting works on the Abuja-Lokoja road in company of the Minister of Works, Mr. Dave Umahi.

According to DailyTrust, he said: “By fixing roads across the country, it will alleviate poverty and that is better than giving out palliatives.”

Recall that the federal government last week approved N5 billion for each state and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal.
