of the social registrar for transparent distribution of fuel subsidy
palliatives.

of the palliatives.

 

She said poverty alleviation is paramount to President Bola

She added that the government would provide jobs to
alleviate poverty.

 

“We are starting with the Verification of the social
registrar to ensure that it is truly made of people who deserve the fund. We
will be creating humanitarian jobs.

 

“The ministry would be distributing palliatives to cushion

“We will be very transparent to Nigerians; the target is to
lift 133 million Nigerians by 2030”, he stated.
