In a bid to cushion the economic impact of ongoing reforms, the Federal Government has expanded its palliative support to students, women, and vulnerable communities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Spearheaded by the Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, the relief initiative aims to provide essential assistance to those most affected by current economic challenges.
The intervention is part of a broader government strategy to mitigate hardship and ensure that disadvantaged groups receive necessary support during this transitional period. The palliative measures include financial aid, food supplies, and empowerment programs targeted at students and women-led households.
Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Uzoka-Anite emphasized the government’s commitment to social welfare, stating, We recognize the sacrifices Nigerians are making due to economic reforms, and we are dedicated to alleviating their burden. This support package is designed to provide immediate relief while long-term solutions are implemented.
Beneficiaries of the program expressed gratitude for the assistance, noting that it provides much-needed relief amid rising costs of living. The government has assured that similar interventions will be extended to other regions, ensuring nationwide coverage of relief efforts.
The expansion of palliative support underscores the administration’s dedication to inclusive economic policies that prioritize the well-being of citizens while fostering sustainable development.
