Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu said he has approved a temporary allowance for federal government workers as the effects of fuel subsidy removal continues to bite hard. 

The allowance will be in place for six months, Tinubu said in a nationwide broadcast to mark Nigeria’s 63rd independence anniversary. 

“For the next six months, the average low grade worker shall receive an additional Twenty Five Thousand naira per month,” he said.
