Yahaya highlighted ongoing investments aimed at improving the economic situation and emphasized that efforts were underway to move Nigerians out of the current economic challenges. He mentioned the resumption of production at the Port Harcourt refinery and anticipated that locally refined petroleum products would soon be available, reducing costs for consumers.

While acknowledging the hardship resulting from subsidy removal, the governor assured residents of the state and Nigerians in general of better days ahead. He commended their patience and resilience during this period.

The palliative distribution, according to Yahaya, targeted the poor and vulnerable across 2,988 polling units in the state. Approximately 30 individuals per polling unit were expected to benefit, totaling around 90,000 beneficiaries. The governor urged the distribution committee to ensure that the food items reached those in need.

Yahaya also mentioned that the palliative initiative would complement the first phase, which benefited 420,000 individuals in August 2023. However, it is worth noting that after the event, suspected thugs reportedly seized some of the distributed food items, overwhelming security personnel at the venue.
