“State Governors will distribute the food items to the most vulnerable…”- Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris

Alhaji Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, announced that the Federal Government is implementing extra steps to significantly alleviate the hardships faced by Nigerians.

He made this statement during a briefing with State House Correspondents following the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Monday.

Idris mentioned that the council discussed the nation’s current situation, particularly the food shortage.

He noted that the council acknowledged various complaints from Nigerians concerning transportation, food prices, and food shortages affecting many households nationwide.

“After exhaustive deliberation, the Minister of Agriculture was directed to ensure that food is made available to Nigerians.

“And the understanding is that about 20 trucks of rice have already been supplied to each of the states of the federation, including the federal capital territory.

“Each of the trucks of course is carrying about 1,200 25kg bags of rice,” said Idris

He explained that this was one of the steps the government is taking to significantly reduce the hardships faced by Nigerians.

“This is a first step and the federal government will continue to support all the state governors and local governments, so that the hardship being experienced by most Nigerians in terms of shortage of food supply is reduced.

“It is expected that the state governors will distribute the food items to the most vulnerable so that the hardship will be brought down significantly,” he said.

The minister stated that the government is also providing fertilizer to farmers as part of these measures.

“Recall that the Central Bank of Nigeria had earlier made available over 2.1 million bags of assorted fertiliser to the Ministry of Agriculture for onward distribution to the states. So that is also in progress,” he said.

Regarding transportation, Idris mentioned that the council instructed the Presidential Committee on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to speed up its efforts to supply buses and provide conversion kits at affordable prices to Nigerians.

He stated that the Federal Government has ordered an increase in the compliance level of CNG to lessen Nigerians’ dependence on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).

He further noted that this move would support the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

“Now, you are also aware that last week, the National Labour Congress met the president. This, of course, was part of the consultation that the President has agreed to carry out.

“Recall that he had met the Organised Private Sector (OPS). He had also met subnationals after the tripartite committee on minimum wage had submitted its report,” he said

He explained that the consultation was to ensure that there was a thorough analysis of the situation, so that government would come up with a minimum wage that worked for all Nigerians.

Idris said the Federal Government had also directed the ministry of budgets to come up with additional support for the 2024 budget.

He said this was to cover any differential or gaps in the 2024 budget that was approved.
