“The Ministerial Administrative Panel will do its job of looking at those reforms that are required for the ministry to be repositioned for the good of Nigerians.

“The President gave the panel six weeks to complete the job; and this is just the second week, so, let’s be patient, it is going to be good,” Idris said.

According to him, the state governments and labour unions are aware of what the Federal Government is doing to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal.

“There were interventions in the areas of palliative and wage awards. So, many things are happening. The shock will be there, but we will build upon it and have a sustainable economy”.
