President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that palliatives to cushion the pangs of fuel subsidy removal are being worked out.
He gave the assurance while speaking at an interactive session with Nigerians resident in France and neighbouring European countries on the sidelines of the New Global Financing Pact Summit in the French capital, Paris.
The President, in his inaugural speech on May 29, said the subsidy era is gone because there is no budgetary allocation for it.
On how he convinced Organised Labour to shelve the planned protest over removal of subsidy, Tinubu said: “You want money increase in palliative, transportation what are you protesting about? Are you sharing part of the subsidy? if you protest, I will join you and protest and they stopped. No protest.
“Palliative we will get but we have to save the money in order to embark on palliatives,” he said.
