The Federal Government on Tuesday said about 24.3 million poor Nigerians would get N5,000 each for a period of six months.

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, disclosed this at the inauguration of the Federal Government’s emergency intervention database for the urban poor.

A statement issued in Abuja by her aide, Nneka Anibeze, said the intervention would serve as cushion for those further impoverished by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The statement read in part, “According to records, about 24.3 million poor and vulnerable individuals were identified at the end of 2020 and registered into the National Social Register.

“Each beneficiary will receive N5,000 for a period of six months.”

Farouq said the intervention database was needed to develop the capacity for rapid response to any emergency including natural or man-made disasters.

The minister said the Rapid Response Register was designed to rapidly identify, register and provide succour to people who were not previously captured in the social register.

Speaking on the RRR, the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said the register deployed a wholly technology-based approach, adding that it was primed to achieve an end-to-end digital foot-print in cash transfers for the urban poor.

This, he said, would also help the government to achieve its financial inclusion policy under the Enhancing Financial Innovation and Access programme.

He said, “The groundbreaking success of the RRR now emboldens us to achieve our aspiration of a social security programme for a minimum of 20 million Nigerians in the next two years. This will be the largest of its kind on the continent.”

Osinbajo also hinted that the Federal Government would seek funding for the intervention programmes as the country deserved a social security scheme that would not only alleviate poverty but also create wealth for millions of those waiting for the opportunity

Will lol

FG is damn stupid.

Honestly I don't like to swear but surely it shall never be well for m.o.rons who have been defending this useless administration.

Who taught Buhari that the best way to lead the people is by giving out government money? Peanuts for that matter. What shall it profit a man to collect N5000 and spend it within one day with the level of inflation in the market?

You destroy your economy and dash out 5k, who u help? How many lives changed with the useless trader money? At the end of the day you are just creating avenue for looting.

Can't this man come up with a constructive economic policy? So that people can fish well rather than receiving fish. Will 5k take Nigerians out of poverty?

Truly we need a business minded genus to run this country. Buhari is a mistake generations will live to regret. Tueee

So many avenue this government is using to steal money

This woman and the vice president are both notorious for hiding under different names and schemes to loot the treasury

From sharing money to the poorest of the poor in 2016 they have migrated to sharing money to the urban poor in 2021 all because they want to quickly loot the $500 million earmarked for these programmes



That was how this same woman also lied that her ministry spent ₦500million to feed school. Children during lockdown. forgetting that all schools were shut, and all children were home with their parents.

in DJ switch voice FG you are a thief

Will that amount change their status or fortune?
This is comedy-ocracy govt.

The most useless government in history.

5k for what?? How many minutes will it last? This government is determined on making everyone regret voting them.

After looting the 5k, they will say that they lifted 24 million Nigerians out of poverty.
Nigeria has never had it this bad!

One of Osibanjo's useless ideas

What’s the economic benefit of this

Is it to buy akara with it or start pure water Hawking business

while they and theirs work in NNPC ,CBN and other strategic places earning millions for doing nothing.

See me talking as if it will get to the people it's meant for


Keep improverishing the people !

doggedfighter:
Is it to buy akara with it?

But akara is not sold for 5k nau

Woe unto anyone who still believe this administration can build the economy

This is like NSIP CCT where N5k is given to the vulnerables and with Mass Housing which is expected to create jobs,& Solar panel expected to create thousands of jobs, Agricultural is expected to create hundreds of thousands of job directly & indirectly, etc

Where is trader money today? A wasteful government

Later they will say they don't have money and start collecting pensioners money and selling national asset.

These are bereft of ideas and policy, they are just doing everything to make themselves rich, I know before the end of Buhari tenure, this minister of dehumanitarian might be close to Dangote in riches, Diezani is a learner.

Another avenue for Northerners to become rich
This money will never get to any poor person, it will still be directed to their pockets.

Una papa

They have come again. 5k to remain poorer

How much bi 5k For God sake.
This Gov is evil ooo.
This country na wa o!!!

NaijaRoyalty:
One of Osibanjo's useless ideas

Tell me you in pains, it is not Peter Obi that is there, because Osibanjo is not incharge of sharing the money, so what does he benefit from it.

#5000 wey no fit buy carton of gino sachet tomatoes?

Idiots

Wasted resources

Another scam

What a useless govt

Tradermoni

Market mini

Feeding school children


We all know that these are stealing strategy from the government

joke of a government!!!
Another avenue to loot we know the scope already make una come up with another more innovative way to loot!!
We know una reach house,
Screw You PYO!
