Be rest assured that FG is exploring ways to ameliorate any hardship on Nigerians.
Just recently the House of Representatives was seeking a way to provide free electricity to Nigeria at no cost.
According to the speaker, sitting at home for two weeks is a long time and what will bring succour to the people is providing basic amenities. Something that their West African counterparts, Ghana has perfectly done.
