My people perish for lack of knowledge. This is "SCAM" with capital letter.

I know some enemies of progress will still mock the program, where as they have never dash out 5k since the beginning of this year. There own is to against every government programs.

Awesome01:
This is very laudable and commendable if it gets to the targeted beneficiaries listed above but we need more.

I would rather want the govt. to build the country up by giving out loans with as low as 1% yearly interest to youths with entrepreneurial business ideas than giving out grants that would finish within a month.

Let me explain a little.

Let's work with N200billion for example.

Govt. could create a loan agency or contract a private sector microfinance bank, commissioned to give out loans of not more than 500k to every youths with a promising business idea, with yearly repayment with 1% interest rate.

Let's not forget that there must be collateral and surety involved o to keep people on their toes.

By that we have 200,000,000,000 / 500k. = 400,000 youth beneficiaries.

Divide 400,000 youths into 36 states and you have 11,000+ beneficiaries per state, who will in turn employ more than 3 others as workers and helpers to build the business.

I believe our economy and country will develop more human capital faster than just giving out feeding money to people, which will be forgotten in less than a month.

My opinion though.

But he's not a good candidate for presidency because of godfatherism

THESE GUYS ARE THE SOLE REASON WHY WE ARE IN THIS KINDA MESS TODAY, VERY SHAMELESS PAID PHOOLS

This one na audio money.
This is not what we need in this country.
Just reduce fuel price to #50 then everyone will be happy.
Transportation is one of the major problem we are having in this country.
What can 30k do for a bachelor talkless of married man.

Buh all of dem claiming presidency have millions of dollars stashed awa

Nairaland is currently filled with so many paid agents. It's a big conspiracy. The come online drop comments in support of the bad government and fight for them and get paid. I don't blame them but I just want you to watch out for these guys. It's all hustle sha

Una mumu no too much?

When it comes to empowerment programs to the youth, this is the best government I have seen with lots of initiatives. These grants can start up new ventures, keep failing ones afloat, meet urgent needs, improve working capital and re- engineer the economy in a positive sense.

On the personal level, I am channeling mine to improve my working capital and increase inflows. I am excited been alive to witness this not just because this is my first time of benefiting from the government in monetary terms but rather because I will be part of positive growth.

There are some families that only need 10k and their problems will be solved and some need a lil more to sustain them. This government has improved investing and improving human capital development and this is paying off. The NSIP, guarantee off-take scheme, SurvivalFund are schemes which the government is putting money in people's hands.

More reason why Nigerians need to appreciate the Buhari Osinbajo administration

30k for buy 50kg of rice for ur area No so ur own poverty reach

Nigeria is indeed world capital of poverty..... My people instead of wasting in this God forsaken country try your luck somewhere else.. is it not better to be sweeping roads in Dubai and be earning 150k than to live and die in a country without direction...

Buh all of dem claiming presidency have millions of dollars stashed away in foreign bank accounts.

So much money that if Femi Adesina alone decides to give 1 million each to 100,000 Nigerians...he won't even miss it.

It's such a huge shame.

Rubbish nd ingredients

Emboldened.
You talk like an illiterate

Moreso, is the money given to you to buy a bag of rice or help your already existing business?
Bag of rice is not even 30k so rest

Nigerian Government can feed for a day, there can't teach you how to fish. I want a country that have a vision of creating something for a long span survival not a one day survival. Teach us how to fish!!

*STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE*

*OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT*

*FG COMMENCES N30,000 GRANTS FOR TAXI, BUS, OKADA, KEKE NAPEP, UBER, BOLT DRIVERS, & CART PUSHERS*

*Survival Fund scheme to benefit 4500 Nigerians per state and FCT
*Payment to Artisans & Payroll Support beneficiaries ongoing
*207,319 beneficiaries drawn from 35,837 businesses paid under Payroll Support
*59,000 verified artisans have been paid in 23 states and the FCT
As the implementation of its Economic Sustainability Plan, ESP, continues, and in furtherance of its commitment to support small businesses to cushion the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Government has also launched the transport support track under its MSME Survival Fund schemes for artisans and transporters.

The launch of the transport track last Monday follows the successful take-off of the Artisans’ Support track on October 1st. While the Artisans track is under the Survival Fund, the Transport track is a different scheme also under the Fund.

While verified Artisans have started receiving the N30,000 one-time grants, Nigerians operating in the transport business – including Rideshare drivers (Uber, Bolt, etc.), Taxi drivers, Bus drivers, Keke Napep riders, Okada riders, cart pushers etc., now have the opportunity to benefit from the scheme.

The Artisan track is being implemented in three streams, and as of November 25, a total number of 59,000 individual Artisan beneficiaries have been paid across 24 states in Stream 1 and Stream 2 States.

They include FCT, Lagos, Ekiti, Kaduna, Borno, Kano, Bauchi, Anambra, Abia, Rivers, Plateau, Delta, Taraba, Adamawa, Bayelsa, Edo, Ogun, Ondo, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Enugu, Ebonyi.

While the verification process for artisans under Stream 3 states commenced on Monday, November 30. Stream 3 states comprise Akwa-Ibom, Cross-River, Zamfara, Yobe, Sokoto, Nasarawa, Niger, Imo, Oyo, Osun, Jigawa, Gombe and Benue.

Similarly, payment to beneficiaries under the Payroll Support scheme for different categories of MSMEs, ranging from education, hospitality to other sectors, has since commenced.

The payroll support scheme, which is designed to support vulnerable MSMEs, targets supporting 500,000 beneficiaries with payment of up to N50,000 per employee for a period of three months, starting from October. The disbursements to approved Payroll Support beneficiaries commenced on 17th November 2020.

So far, 207,319 individual beneficiaries drawn from 35,837 businesses/MSMEs nationwide have received their first monthly payment from the Survival Fund’s Payroll Support Scheme.

A breakdown of this figure shows that: N30,000 each was paid to 180,196 employees/Beneficiaries; while N50,000 each was paid to 26,353 employees/Beneficiaries. Out of this, 2.6 per cent of beneficiaries are with special needs, while 43 per cent are female employees/beneficiaries.

Under this Artisan Support scheme, a total of 333,000 Artisans and Transport business operators nationwide will get one-time operations grant of N30,000 per beneficiary to reduce the effects of income loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

There will be a total of 9,009 beneficiaries per state for both Artisan and Transport beneficiaries. Of this number per state, there will be a total of 4,505 beneficiaries under the transport scheme, while the remaining 4,504 will be artisan beneficiaries.

For the Transport track, Nigerians are encouraged to apply through their registered Associations to be enumerated, such as the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Keke Riders’ Association, Okada Riders’ Associations and Unions, among others. All schemes are applied to beneficiaries on a first come first serve basis.

State focal persons, project field officers, enumerators and others will work alongside the MSMEs Survival Fund Project Delivery Office to properly identify and ensure that members of the respective associations are paid.

There is also provision for individuals who are members of Associations but will rather apply directly with the enumerators. However, such individual applicants in the transport cluster must show their proof of membership of an association to be enumerated.

Like all the schemes of the Buhari administration to support different categories of Nigerians, these schemes are absolutely free, and the grant will be paid directly to the beneficiary’s account.

Nigerians are encouraged to speak up if anyone tries to charge a fee or subvert this arrangement.

Also, the formalization support scheme (registration of 250,000 new businesses with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)) commenced on the 26th of October, 2020 and the registration by aggregators - CAC registration agents, has since commenced across the 36 states and the FCT. The ongoing scheme will run for a period of 3 months effective from the date of commencement.

The MSME Survival Fund, a component under the Nigerian Economic Sustainability Plan, NESP, is designed to support vulnerable Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in meeting their payroll obligations and safeguard jobs in the MSMEs sector. The scheme is estimated to save not less than 1.3 million jobs across the country and specifically impact on over 35,000 individuals per State.

In the implementation of the Transport track the Federal Government is working with representatives of Keke Napep and Okada riders; Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN); representatives of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW); Uber and Bolt drivers, among others.

Modified: Why are some Nigerians ungrateful?, if they do nothing, you guys will complain, now they are doing some things which with other former programs, so many Nigerians have confirmed of benefiting yet you guys are still complaining.

How can we grow as a nation with such mentality?... Na war oo

Shut up you talk too much

Another fraud oooooooooooookio

classicfrank4u:
All these ain't necessary
Make good policies that will enable businesses to thrive easily, without that all these grants will just be a waste

They're not interested in making anything better. They lack the vision and mental faculties for it

I pity your children with your level of reasoning. All this government know how to do is share Money. They don't have any sustainable policy yet you are praising them. If 30k is what can lift you out of poverty, then you must have been extremely poor.

This is a laudable one indeed

AFONJACOW:
30k fit buy 50kg of rice for ur area Na so ur own poverty reach

What you don't know is, no he everybody dey buy a bag of rice. Some only need to get half bag and this is the sad truth. Most families even when bag of rice was sold for 8k, they still don't buy a complete bad. Some prefer to buy quarter, or half. So there is no need for comparison.
.some homes, that 30k is everything for them. We both know this is the truth

jaxxy:
Confused government. U ban them then u give them grant.




It’s either u fix the economy or u credit all Nigerian citizens accounts with 500k. 30k grant is still a lousy and insultive joke.

Is the 30k per week or per month?? U must think very low of Nigerian citizens even okada men and cart pushers as u call them.

These are non effective/efficient policies ment to play on the intelligence of the poor.

And if you think an okada man or napep generate or total take home is up to the 30k monthly, you must be a joke. I have a guy who does the work and how bitterly he always complain about the take home when he calculate at the end of the month. Seeing this news, he already have plan for the money when the money has not reach his hand.

Even if government give you 500k, people like you will still complain. 500k can't start a lucrative business or your business idea can't be realised with 500k

This government as lost direction

Shut up you fuckiing fool .

Imagine in a country with an unemployment rate of more than 20% and an underemployment rate of around 60% all the government could do is give grants of peanuts and motorcycles. Shameful and embarrassing.

If you have no idea how to solve unemployment issues take China as a case study.
