Oyo NUJ lauds Power Minister, Adelabu for transparent distribution of FG’s rice palliatives

This gesture, according to Adelabu aimed to cushion the impact of the economy on the suffering masses.

The Oyo NUJ in a statement by the Chairman, Ademola Babalola, and made available by the Secretary, Sola Oladapo, appreciated the Minister for the transparent manner in which he handled the distribution to various religious groups, organizations and others in the state.

Notably, over 45 media houses were provided with at least 50 bags of 25kg rice for their staffers and members of the public to make phone calls on radio programs to receive the gesture.

Adelabu said this initiative demonstrated the government’s commitment to supporting the masses during these challenging economic times.

The NUJ also commended President Tinubu for this gesture to Nigerian masses, acknowledging the efforts of the Federal Government to alleviate the suffering of the citizens.

However, the Union urged the government to step up its economic recovery plan for the masses to provide a sigh of relief in the face of excruciating poverty and rising inflation, emphasizing the need for sustainable solutions to address the economic challenges facing the country.

Furthermore, the NUJ commended the Minister of Power for the recent improvement in power supply, acknowledging the progress made in addressing the nation’s energy challenges.

The Union also tasked Adelabu to ensure that all Nigerians have access to electricity supply, emphasizing the importance of reliable power supply in driving economic growth and development.

This commendation and call to action by the NUJ highlights the critical role of the media in promoting transparency and accountability in governance, as well as the need for sustained efforts to address the economic challenges facing the nation.
