The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has stated that vulnerable Lagosians who are heavily impacted by the current naira and fuel scarcity will be given food to alleviate the hardship they are currently experiencing.
Sanwo-Olu stated this on Saturday during a live conference on the crises that are causing chaos throughout the country.
The governor stated that his administration is working hard to provide palliative measures to alleviate the burden on vulnerable Lagosians.
“We have also since commenced the distribution of food packs, to the most vulnerable citizens, the people most impacted by this disruption in the supply of cash.
“We will continue to highlight more vulnerable groups within our distribution channels who would benefit from the palliatives,” he added.
Reacting to the possibility of fare increment, Sanwo-Olu said they are in discussion with private transport operators to regulate fares bearing the difficult circumstances in which Lagosians have found themselves.
He, however, urged them to remain calm while the rollout of the palliatives is put in place.
