“The president is aware of some of the hardships that Nigerians are encountering as a result of the very strong, powerful steps he has taken to restore the economy, especially the fuel subsidy removal.
“This is a temporary step and Nigerians will soon smile in the nearest future as the Federal Government has taken the right steps to cushion the effects.” He added
Idris-Malagi further recalled that large sums of money and assorted grains had since been released to all the sub nationals in this direction, revealing that it was in a bid to complement their efforts to minimize the sufferings of Nigerians.

“More steps will be taken by the Federal Government to ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians.”
According to the minister, all the state governments are to get more revenues that can be ploughed back to bolster the economy, as he averred that the development would bring back jobs to the teeming youths in the country.
