Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has criticised the federal government’s N70,000 monthly transport allowance for public service workers, describing it as a temporary measure that cannot address Nigeria’s cost of living crisis.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by Phrank Shaibu, director of strategic communication of the ADC presidential campaign council, Atiku said the allowance would only buy about 50 litres of petrol at an estimated price of N1,400 per litre.
