The Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, who made this known on Monday at the government house, Ikeja in a press briefing promised to distribute raw food items to the poor and vulnerable families.
He said, the state government is working towards rolling out these palliatives to lessen the pain that the removal of subsidy has brought on the citizens.
The governor added that modalities have also been put in place by the informal transportation sector, especially the yellow buses, to slash their charges by 25 per cent and will be announced officially by their body.
