The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this while speaking to journalists on Wednesday at the end of the first Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting of the year at the State House in Abuja.
Idris said the president approved about N9.6 billion for 12 local insurance firms to cover federal workers in the event of unforeseen circumstances in their duties.
