Veteran Nigerian singer, Eedris Abdulkareem has reacted to President Bola Tinubu’s administration decision to pay the sum of ₦8,000 to 12 million Nigerian families for six months to cushion the effects of petrol subsidy removal.

Naija News reports that Tinubu had unveiled plans to transfer ₦8,000 to 12 million poor households in the country.

He said the money would be sent to poor Nigeria within the next six months.

The president’s plan was contained in a letter to the House of Representatives over the 800 million dollars loan requests of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for the social safety net program.
