States were also urged to double down on energy transition plans in the transport sector.

This is the Council’s second meeting and it is expected for more discussions to be made on reviewing the palliative package for Nigerians in the face of fuel subsidy removal.

Recall that President Tinubu, in his attempt to ‘cushion’ the effect of the biting economic situation in the country, had unveiled his administration’s plan to transfer a monthly sum of 8,000 Naira to 12 million of the poorest families in the country for six months.

This plan had been met with severe backlash from the Nigerian populace who were scandalised by the meagre sum offered to ‘help’ the nation’s indigent.

A lot of the citizens had been of the opinion that the sum proffered was insulting, as well as outrageous, considering the vast difference in the allowance that senators and various political dignitaries were being paid every month.
