From: Femi Oyelola Kaduna

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have commended Governor Uba Sani’s administration for its pro-people policies and determination to ensure fair distribution of palliatives to ease the living conditions of the people of Kaduna State.
Following the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu during his maiden address, the 36 states were provided with palliatives to distribute to the poor people in each state to ease the living conditions of people and serve as succour to them over the hardship that arose from the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.
The Chairman of NLC Kaduna state chapter, Comrade Ayuba Magaji Suleiman, and the Chairman of TUC Kaduna state chapter, Abdullahi Alhassan Danfulani, who led other labour and trade union representatives gave the commendations during the Kaduna state government Palliative Distribution Flag-off in Dankande, Igabi local government area of Kaduna State.
The event was organized to commence the first phase of the Kaduna state government’s palliative distribution of 50kg bags of rice to 210,000 vulnerable households across the 23 LGAs of Kaduna State.
Addressing the flag-off event, the NLC Chairman lauded the administration of Governor Uba Sani for its commitment and inclusion of key stakeholders in the formulation of the Kaduna State Government Palliative Distribution Committee describing it as evidence of Governor Sani’s open governance style.
“We have all witnessed today that the palliatives are very much available. We have been with the KDSG Palliative Committee from the beginning.
“The recommendations we made regarding the modalities for distribution of the palliative have been adopted by the Kaduna State Government with our involvement consent and understanding. We lauded Governor Sani’s government for inclusion as key stakeholders such as Labour Groups, People Living With Disabilities, market women, JNI, and CAN are all members of the Palliative Distribution Committee and even at the Local Government Distribution level, these critical stakeholders are also involved. This is because of Gov Sani’s confidence in us and his will and zeal to see that these palliatives get to the most vulnerable.”
