On Sunday, Mr. Christopher Maikalangu, the chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), started giving palliatives that had been approved by the federal government to no less than 100 area council members.
The palliatives, according to Maikalangu, were created to lessen the effects of the loss of fuel subsidies.
The chairman thanked President Bola Tinubu for sanctioning the distribution of the palliatives and praised the FCT Minister for making sure that the palliatives reached the most vulnerable members of society.
He claimed that the council’s handling of the palliatives demonstrated a sense of fairness and transparency.
Regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, religious preferences, or political affiliations, AMAC residents were invited.
They were all selected from the council’s 12 political wards. “We want to keep up the good work and show commitment to touch the lives of our people,” he added.

He requested donations from kindhearted people and philanthropists to assist in addressing the needs of the populace because the government could not do it alone.
However, he advised the patients to use the palliatives as effectively as possible.
Mr. John Musa, a beneficiary, expressed gratitude to the federal government, the Minister, and the Chairman of the AMAC for the palliatives.
“I want to thank everyone for these palliatives since I am very happy today.
“The people are happy with the food items we have received as these items would go a long way in our lives,” he stated.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), among the products supplied were rice, maize, and vegetable oil. (NAN)
