President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration would continue to seek for ways and means of cushioning the pains of the higher prices on petroleum and electricity, especially for the most vulnerable.

The president disclosed this on Monday at the opening of a two day First Year Ministerial Performance Review Retreat, held at the Conference Centre of the State House in Abuja, the Nigerian capital.
