assuage the anger of Nigerians over the increase in the price of premium motor

million extremely poor and vulnerable Nigerians to receive N60,000 this year in
12 months payments of N5000 each. All together the federal government would be

ready-made palliative to ordinary Nigerians. Think that is cool?
