House of Reps approve Tinubu’s N500bn Palliatives Request

The House of Representatives has approved the request of President Bola Tinubu for an amendment to the 2022 appropriation act on Thursday, July 12 2023.

The approval followed Tinubu’s request for N500 billion for palliatives to Nigerians in order to reduce the hardship caused by subsidy removal. This is an indication that he feels the plight of the masses.
The amendment passed the first, second, and third readings during plenary on Wednesday 12th July, 2023.

However, the House on Thursday approved the President’s request after members of the House made contributions.
