The Ekiti state government has commenced a monthly disbursement of N5,000 each to 7,000 vulnerable individuals in the State.
The independent Mirror reported that government said the payment was for a period of five months as part of efforts to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal by the Federal Government.
The state commissioner for Information, Taiwo Olatunbosun, who made this known in Ado Ekiti today, reiterated Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration’s commitment to poverty alleviation and improvement of the living conditions of people in the State, particularly the most vulnerable.
Olatunbosun added that the payment of the same amount of N5,000 each will soon commence to another 3,000 vulnerable persons also for five months, making a total of N25,000 per beneficiary for 10,000 beneficiaries.
