The 36 state governors are fashioing steps on palliatives packages to cushion the effects as promised by the Federal Government after the removal of the controversial fuel subsidy.

The meeting, under the auspices of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), was held in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to reports, the meeting which was held at the NGF Secretariat, started at about 5pm and ended at exactly 12am, Wednesday.

During the meeting, the governors were said to have deliberated on a wide range of issues, ranging from the economy, education, social welfare, among others.

The Governors also looked into means of providing succour to their people to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal on the citizenry.
