Adeleke to unveil subsidy removal palliatives

 

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is set to announce palliative measures to cushion the effect of the recent fuel subsidy removal by the Federal Government.

This was disclosed by the Spokesperson to the Governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, when he featured on ‘Imole Ayo’, a sensitization programme promoting the activities of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration on OSBC Radio and Television channels.

The Spokesperson said the planned intervention will cover support for public transport, monitoring of fuel stations and public sector work time reviews.

Rasheed said top officials were finalising the state palliative plan in line with the directives of Mr Governor, adding that the Governor’s plan will be sustainable, impactful and result oriented.

“Mr Governor is set to announce the state plan to cushion the effect of the hike in fuel price. Our Governor is pro-people and pro-worker.

“He wants an all-encompassing intervention in which all strata of the society will benefit,” the Spokesperson said in the Yoruba language.

Rasheed stressed that the Governor is working tirelessly to make life bearable for the people of Osun State in all ramifications

He said Governor Adeleke should be commended for being prudent in the management of the state resources, explaining that the meagre resources are being used to provide social amenities across the state.

Rasheed, therefore, assured all communities, towns and villages that are yet to benefit from developmental projects embarked upon by Governor Adeleke’s administration that the gesture will soon reach their areas

He urged all and sundry to support the present administration in Osun State with prayers and through payment of their taxes for them to continue enjoying the dividends of democracy.
