Igberetv reports that the Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments, Maryam Uwais has said that 620,947 poor and vulnerable Nigerians are benefiting from the National Cash Transfer initiative.

Mrs Uwais made this public through a statement on Saturday in Abuja. She also said that an earlier report of 6.6 million poor and vulnerable Nigerians benefiting from the scheme and are paid a monthly stipend of N5000 was false.

She explained that the programme is a key component of the National Social Investment Programme of the federal government.

She said, “Although 1,491,296 households, comprising 6,056,872 individuals have been captured on the National Social Register, only 620,947 of them are currently receiving the monthly payments and are being supported by trained community facilitators. I also want to clarify reports making the rounds that the Federal Government made a budgetary provision of N30 billion for 2020, as against the usual 500 billion benchmark for the N-SIP since 2016."

“Nothing has changed in the budgeting cycle as relates to the Social Investment Programmes (SIP). The SIP budget has always been pegged at N400 billion, while another N100 billion has been domiciled in the Federal Ministry of Finance, as counterpart of the Social Housing Fund.”

She said she expects that there will be no longer shortfalls in budgetary releases.

And if person asked FG to produce the names of the beneficiaries, na another story entirely we go hear

Let's hear from some of the beneficiaries for confirmation.

Pls if you had received yours indicate ooiiii,cause am confused

Bleep the FG and Bleep free money. That money amounts to about N35bn every year so government if they were wise would know how to put it to better use.
Now its just an avenue to THIEF and we all know who is really benefiting.

It's all wrong to pay people money from govt. No country does that. Tradomoni o, n-power, sure power etc is all shades of wrong.
U don't need to create jobs.
Just create enabling environment with that Kobo Kobo you are giving out.
Are they bereft of ideas or what?

Ok I hope it's true

I believe the 620,000 poor Nigerians belong to one certain tribe which shall not be named

They are definitely bereft of ideas. But you cant give what you don't have, can you?
The funny thing is that they know how useless they are but they can always rely on the fact that the majority of the general public can be bought over with cheap sentiments.

Ok

Its not a new story na!!!
Naso dem dey job us since na!!![i][/i]

The monthly #5000 is not for youth but rather aged people. So nobody can indicate here. NSIP is real (from school feeding, npower, trader money, and this old age package ). Npower beneficiaries have been collecting stipends on monthly basis from December 2016 till date.

So the aged people according to you are ghosts..

They don't have children .. Relatives who will indicate that their parents receive such..

Stop defending rogues and incompetent dullards with your borrowed data on social media..
All because of religious sentiments and ethnic affiliation.. It sucks

They aren't ghost and my parents are not included because we are not poor. I went to my village and saw them gathering the names of those aged people.
And for ur information, i didn't borrow data cos I bought it with my earned money.
I am a Yoruba Christian and don't even think I feel for Buhari but just saying what I saw.
Just that your hatred for Buhari won't allow you see anything good even if you saw it. You see what you choose to see.

We want to see their names addresses and phone numbers ....

That wouldn't be difficult for the thieving Buhari

That money is being paid to ghost Nigerians, moreover is encouraging laziness towards the ghosts.

In the end, Trillions of naira will be discovered to have been spend on the poor by this regime with nothing to show for it. Waste N5,000 on the poor and make it useless with numerous taxes and rising food prices.
Give it up to the most, rudderless corrupt regime ever in the history of Nigeria!
