FG Expands Palliative Programme To Support Students, FCT Communities

The Federal Government has expanded its palliative programme with the support of students across the country and residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, building on the success of its previous distribution in Imo State.

The Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, while distributing the palliatives, emphasized that the gesture will address immediate needs, explaining that they form part of the broader economic reform agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s
Administration.

“These palliatives serve as a bridge while our comprehensive economic reforms take root,” she said

The initiative has reached multiple demographics across the FCT’s Area Councils, with beneficiary groups including student bodies, women associations, community organizations, and vulnerable groups.

Notable student organizations that benefited from the programme include the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Nigerian Female Students Association (NFSAN), and NANS alumni networks

Commending the initiative, Mr. Sunday Asefon, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Student Engagement, praised the Minister’s commitment to student welfare.

In the FCT, the distribution has particularly impacted grassroots organizations across various Area Councils, with special attention to women groups and community associations.

Key beneficiaries include FCT Market Women Associations, Area Council Youth Associations, Religious and Cultural Groups, Widows’ Associations, and Community Development Organizations.

The Minister emphasized that the palliative distribution aligns with President Tinubu’s commitment to alleviating the immediate impact of economic reforms while building a more sustainable economic foundation for Nigeria.

Doris added, “Our administration remains committed to supporting Nigerians through these challenging times, We are dedicated to creating a brighter future for our citizens, and this expanded palliative programme is a testament to that commitment.”

The FCT distribution follows a successful rollout in Imo State, where thousands of bags were distributed across all 27 Local Government Areas, reaching religious institutions, community groups, women organizations, youth associations, and vulnerable populations.

The Minister emphasized that the palliative distribution aligns with President Tinubu’s commitment to alleviating the immediate impact of economic reforms while building a more sustainable economic foundation for Nigeria.
