Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday reduced fees in the state-owned Ambrose Alli University by N15,000, as part of palliatives to cushion the effect of the Federal Government’s removal of fuel subsidy.
In a statewide broadcast read at the Exco Chambers of the Government House, Benin, the governor also scrapped fees and levies in all public secondary schools; instituted free medical treatment for elderly citizens aged 70 and above; cut transport fares by 50 per cent for students and pupils and promised to provide mass transit buses.
Oshiomhole said these measures were among steps taken by his administration to make life more meaningful for the people after the removal of the subsidy.
