This important policy decision has had varying impacts on how we live and meet basic needs, and we are in it together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmid other competing demands of public administration, infrastructural development, and keeping the fabrics of the society together, our administration has responded in various ways to mitigate the teething effects of the reforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have introduced a monthly transport support, otherwise known as wage award, staggered working days, and implemented various promotion and other welfare packages that are meant to strengthen the spending powers of the workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have similarly rolled out different layers of support to the general public in our holistic approach to lessen the impacts of the reforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs our country courageously navigates the post-subsidy challenges, we acknowledge the fact that we have a responsibility to provide good and sustainable governance to the people of Kwara, and we are committed to always remain true to the oath we have sworn to protect the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thank the organised labour and our workers in Kwara state for their support, understanding, and resilience. I appreciate their bold embrace of the future with hope, even as they diligently contribute positively to the development of our state.
