President Goodluck Jonathan has approved the release of a total sum of N5. 7 billion to nine states for direct disbursement to assist those who suffered losses of property and whose means of livelihood and places of worship were destroyed in the post election violence of 2011.

It would be recalled that the President, following the post election violence and civil disturbances in some states after the April 2011 elections, set up a Panel of Enquiry headed by Ahmed Lemu to, among other things, identify the spread and extent of losses suffered across the country.
