He said the palliatives would be rolled out the moment commissioner nominees are inaugurated next week.
He commended the federal government for the intervention while promising its judicious distribution for the benefit of the people.
He commended the speaker and his colleagues for the speedy confirmation of the commissioner nominees and assured of continued good working relationship.

He said plans were on to replace the commissioner nominee from Nassarawa Eggon local government, Mr Haruna Musa, who was indisposed for confirmation due to cogent reasons.
He said he was worried when he learned of the ill health and had to paid him a visit as soon as he returned from U.S.
“Good health, peace, unity and ease of life is what everybody wants, I am happy to see that you have improved and incorporated, we thank God for that”
“May God continue to keep us together in unity and good health,” the governor said.
Responding, the speaker appreciated the governor for the visit and wished him quick recovery just as he called for the sustained relationship.
He assured the governor of the commitment of the lawmakers to initiating legislations that will improve the business of governance for the growth and development of the state.
