The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Bishop MATTHEW KUKAH has faulted the distribution of palliative to Nigerians in the wake of the biting hardship facing the country.

The government’s floating of the naira and the removal of fuel subsidy have pushed inflation levels to a new high leading to a hike in the cost of living.

Governments across levels have rolled out palliative measures including the distribution of food items to the vulnerable as part of moves to cushion the hardship in the country.

But Bishop KUKAH says such moves are undignifying and governments should map out better plans to tackle the nation’s issues.

According to him, the country needs to see a much more robust programme designed by the government to help people go away from just lining up and collecting palliative when the country is not at war.
