Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme with biometric capture and account opening commenced in Borno camps for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP).


The programme is a part of the scheme under the ‘Social Investment Programmes’ of the government of Muhammadu Buhari.

According to this initiative, one million extremely poor Nigerians would receive 5,000 naira monthly in 2016.


Laolu Akande, the special assistant to the vice president Yemi Osinbajo, clarified that for the Conditional Cash Transfer the money would be paid directly to the recipients through a payment system that was being worked out.


Osinbajo’s aide said World Bank and the Bill Gates Foundation were also cooperating with the federal government to develop an efficient payment system.

“All together, about 60 billion naira has been estimated to be paid out to extremely poor Nigerians,” Akande said in a statement.

In a related development, Governor Fayose of Ekiti state has recently announced the beginning of the implementation of its social welfare scheme for the needy, aged and unemployed.

During the presidential campaign Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress, vowed to pay 5,000 naira a month to the unemployed and the poorest youths in the country.

egbonnla:
This is daylight robbery! They have succeeded in looting N60billion in the name of paying extremely poor Nigerians. Where are the extremely poor Nigerians in Nairaland? Please show your face and confirm if you receive N5000. Before our very eyes they claimed that N270Million was used to cut grasses in IDP camps. The kind of massive but silence lootings going on under our noses will be precedential!

God bless my President, this Will go a long way in helping the indigent in the society

socialmediaman:
"World Bank and Bill Gates" cooperating to develop an efficient payment system? Is this a joke or what? Developing an effective payment system doesnt need world bank and bill gates, it needs nigeria's IT professionals and a simple database with fingerprint of those to benefit from the program. Everyone should get a National ID card and be enrolled in the database before they can access any benefits from government
