Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara, has assisted over 3,000 street beggars with N30,000 each in the last two months.

The Borno State Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation, Nuhu Clark, who told journalists on Tuesday that though the government had already invested N384m in the scheme, said the state governor would continue with the programme.

Clark said 3,127 physically-challenged persons were amongst more than 7,000 persons given N30, 000 across the state.


He said the scheme was aimed at preparing grounds for the enforcement of the government’s ban on street-begging in the state.

He disclosed that apart from the 3,127 physically-challenged persons from across the state enrolled into the scheme, 2,862 youths from Maiduguri and Jere received N30,000 each monthly for six months.

Also include empowerment schemes rather than just dashing out money.
It's a welcome development anyway,with 90million naira lots of lives are being greatly imparted.The money is not even close to a senators allowance.There are lots of things the typical Nigerian government wastes way more than 90million naira on.

They are paying the minimum wage after all.

Nice one.

But you know how much they value their 5-5 and 10-10 naira.

Is that pose to be their Minimum wage??

Same minimum wage FG can't pay..

100k will never stop this hausas beggars from leaving the street less alone 30k. I know them cos I v lived around where they operate

With oyel money

Without reorientation, their cognition is still soaked up in dependency on alms. After they finish the N30,000, they hit the street again as it is cultural and generational to them.

They are being given vocational training. The payment is to ensure they have something to use while being trained. The 30k per month is just for 6 months
