A flexible work plan for civil servants, 25 per cent rebate on
transport fares and distribution of food to 300,000
households are some of the palliatives announced yesterday
for lagosians by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu .

Other measures to cushion the effects of economic hardship
announced by the governor included free healthcare missions by the
six health districts and removal of the N8,000 Tax Clearance
Certificate (TCC) for enrolment in public schools.

To ensure these measures achieve their intended objective, Sanwo-
Olu said a bipartisan advisory team will be instituted to monitor the
process, ensure transparency and give feedbacks to the government.
He said: “This team will include myself, the deputy governor, State
Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former chairman of
the Labour Party (LP), Chairman of the Nigerian Guild of Editors
(NGE), Chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC),
representative of the civil society, representative of the House of
Assembly, religious leaders (one Christian, one Muslim), economists
and others.”

The governor, during a live media chat, ‘Sanwo Speaks’, said ‘the
measures are to ensure that everyone is touched and can then say
the government is truly working for me’.

Sanwo-Olu said from next week, civil servants from Level 1-14 will
begin to work three days a week while those from level 14 upwards
will work four days a week. Also, teachers will work for five days due
to the nature of the sector. He, however, said that government will
ensure additional transport support.

The governor announced a 25 per cent rebate on fares on
government-owned transport schemes, including BRT, ferry services
and rail. He also disclosed that discussions were on with the private
transport sector to see how they can also key into the initiative.
The governor will also collaborate with the local governments to
rehabilitate dilapidated inner roads and procure more vehicles for
security agencies.

On food palliatives, Sanwo-Olu said the government would explore
three major avenues to ensure Lagosians get affordable foodstuff. He
said the government is expecting 100 trailer loads of rice from the
North for distribution.

He said: “We will be having food purchase and redistribution to cover
about 300,000 households. Each household will get a box containing
staples and some condiments. Procurement has started and we will
work out distribution logistics.

Weaponize hunger and give them peanuts to shut up. Nigeria politicians are the most wicked sets of pipo in the world. Worst than terrorists and kidnappers.

ONYE ANWULU!!!

Good one.

The South West states are trying the most at mitigating the current economic quagmire.

Those in other regions should call out and hold their governors and elected reps accountable.

Nigeria will get through this.
