President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the framework for palliatives to remedy the effects of fuel subsidy removal was being worked out.
He assured that the decision was in the best interest of the country, especially in guaranteeing future prosperity.
Tinubu said this when he received 18 governors who served with him, Class of 1999, at the Presidential Villa, appealing for more patience from Nigerians, while the government will increase effort, speed up the process and ensure a full-proof social security structure that will not be compromised, especially in cash transfers.
President Tinubu noted that the country will not make meaningful progress without fixing electricity, assuring that his administration will harness gas resources, and explore every opportunity to ensure stable power generation and supply.
On security, the president, who had earlier met with Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State to review situation in the North East, appealed to Nigerians, especially Plateau State, to sheath their swords and use dialogue in resolving conflicts, adding that issues of borders were man-made, not created by God.
