In this regard, the President and Vice-President Kashim Shettima met with the Senate president, Godswill Akpabio and some Governors, including those of Imo, Kwara, Lagos and Ogun.

Former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State was also part of the meeting, which held in the President’s office at the State House, Abuja.

Presidential spokesman, Dele Alake, says the meeting also looked at how to finalize arrangement on the distribution of palliatives to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal.
