In response to widespread public criticism and concern, the Tinubu
administration has announced a revision of the N8,000 cash
transfer program intended to provide relief to vulnerable
households affected by the recent removal of petrol subsidy.
Presidential spokesman, Dele Alake in a statement on Tuesday said
the President’s commitment to dialogue with Nigerians and
prioritize their welfare and security under the Renewed Hope
Agenda has prompted this swift action.
Recall that following the decision to halt the fuel subsidy, the
Federal Government had proposed to implement a conditional cash
transfer initiative, which would have granted N8,000 monthly for six
months to 12 million households among the poorest of the poor.

However, the plan was met with a barrage of criticism, with many
expressing ill-informed concerns and doubts about the program’s
effectiveness.
Recognizing the importance of addressing public sentiment and
fostering inclusivity in policy-making, President Tinubu has heeded
the voices of the people and instructed an immediate review of the
cash transfer program.
The President emphasized that the cash program is just one part of
a broader range of relief measures designed to ease the burden on
Nigerians resulting from the subsidy removal.
In addition to the revision of the cash transfer program, the
President has directed the unveiling of the entire gamut of
government palliative packages to Nigerians
Alake said “you will agree with me that it has become part of the
culture of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration to
constantly dialogue with Nigerians who voted him into office. The
President covenanted with Nigerians that their welfare and security
will be topmost in the Renewed Hope Agenda of his government.
“In the last few days, the conventional and new media platforms
have become awash with stories of the government intending to
embark on conditional cash transfer to vulnerable households
mostly affected by the painful but necessary decision to remove
subsidy from petrol.
“The story has been widely reported that the Federal Government is
proposing to give 12 million households from the poorest of the
poor N8,000 monthly for a period of six months as government
palliative to reduce the discomfort being experienced by Nigerians
consequent upon subsidy removal.
“A lot of ill-informed imputations have been read into the
programme by not a few naysayers. The administration believes in
the maxim that when there is prohibition, there must be provision.
Since subsidy, the hydra-headed monster threatening to kill the
economy, has been stopped, government has emplaced a broad
spectrum of reliefs to bring help to Nigerians.
“While it should be noted that cash programme is not the only item
in the whole gamut of relief package of President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, as a listening leader who has vowed to always put
Nigerians at the heart of his policy and programme, the President
has directed as follows:
“That the N8,000 conditional cash transfer programme envisaged
to bring succour to most vulnerable households be reviewed
immediately. This is in deference to the views expressed by
Nigerians against it.
“That the whole gamut of palliative package of government be
unveiled to Nigerians.
“Immediate release of fertilisers and grains to approximately 50
million farmers and households respectively in all the 36 states and
the FCT.
Alake said the President further assures Nigerians that the N500bn
approved by parliament to cushion the pain occasioned by the end
of subsidy regime will be judiciously utilised.
According to him, the beneficiaries of the reliefs shall be Nigerians
irrespective of their ethnic, religious or political affiliation.
He said President Bola Tinubu has promised to always prioritize the
wellbeing of Nigerians and he is irrevocably committed to the vow.
A number of decisions taken so far by this administration have
buttressed this stance.
“You will recall that the President took a similar decision after
listening to complaints from the business community/stakeholders
about burdensome taxes, particularly multiplicity of taxes they are
made to experience.
“This warranted the signing of four (4) Executive Orders cancelling
some classes of taxes, while suspending the implementation dates
of others.
“In addition, the President has also set up a Tax Reform/Fiscal
Policy Committee to bring up recommendations that will engender
a wholesome fiscal environment for the country and remove anti-
business barriers,” he said.
He assured Nigerians that President Tinubu will continue to be a
listening leader whose ears will not be dull to the views expressed
by the citizenry.
The President believes government exists to cater for the interest
of the people and he has demonstrated this so clearly.

A listing government

You will live Long Baba .

Even though Tinubu doesn't understand whatever he's doing ... But he listens to the people.


May this review favour me and my family....

JASONjnr:
he listens to the people.

May this review favour me and my family....

Amen! That's our prayer my dear.

ManirBK:
Amen!
That's our prayer my dear.

You really think this government knows what he's doing?

You all complained about Buhari excessive borrowing and now Tinubu is moving in that same lane?

He wants to borrow and give it to his cohorts to share while the masses will only have 8k out of it?

And you said a amen?

Una never ready to make this country a better place.

The suffering go reach everybody.

What was Mr president thinking before,the political vampire's must be disappointed by now.

This same sharing of money played out in the last administration without any impact,so why toil such root again?.

The money should be channelled to the transport sector,with strict supervision.
