Our street parliament in this edition takes a look at the confusion trailing Nigeria’s Federal Government’s palliatives package to the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory stemming from distribution hitches, alleged underhand dealings and inadequacy of the materials to meet the needs of Nigerians.

While some of the states have taken custody of the funds and food items earmarked for distribution to residents as palliatives, others have yet to receive such amid agitation by the citizens.

The Federal Government had announced the release of an N180bn ($ 250 million) palliative package to states to cushion the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.

Each state is expected to get N5bn ($7 million) and 180 trucks of rice as part of measures to assuage the pains of the subsidy removal.

But what are the Nigerian citizens saying about this?
