Some Frequently Asked Questions and Answers Regarding The Federal Government Grant And Federal Government Loan

The following below highlights some Frequently Asked Questions and Answers regarding the federal government grant and federal government loan:

Q. Why not add the names of the beneficiaries to the total? I viewed some Local Government Areas on the federal government grant portal and only saw the total number of those who benefitted from the federal government grant without their names. It is necessary to add names please so that one can verify.

A. This will be done when the federal government grant disbursement process has been completed.

Q. My concern is to why did you allow up to 4,000,000 persons to apply for the federal government grant when you can just accept 1,000,000 and the federal government portal stops receiving applications.

A. Good question. To buttress what was said earlier, unfortunately not all the federal government grant applications were eligible so we had to ensure there were enough eligible federal government grant applications in order to process them. Secondly, we had to give every applicant a fair chance to apply for the federal government grant which is why the federal government grant portal remained open for so long.

Q. The disbursement process is still ongoing”
can you clarify the above statement because it is contradictory.

A. There is no contradiction. To all applicants of the Federal Government Grant who are yet to be paid. The disbursement process is still ongoing, and we have allocated about 60 percent of the 1,000,000 federal government grant. You can track the number of beneficiaries per LGA paid so far on the federal government grant portal. We are also at the final stages of vetting for the federal government loan. Applications remain open, and disbursement will start by July ending.


Q. How about the federal government loan, I was called to the local government office for biometric capture over two months ago but nothing yet.

A. We are at the final stages of vetting for the Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) and Manufacturing loans otherwise known as the federal government loan. Applications for the federal government loan remain open, and disbursement of the federal government loan will begin by July ending.

Q. You mean disbursement for the federal government loan will start by July ending?

A. Yes. Disbursement of the federal government loan will start by July ending.

Federal Government go give states and FCT ₦10,000,000,000 each to buy CNG buses for mass transit to reduce transportation cost.

Goment go make provisions for Labour and Civil society organisations. E neva dey clear wetin dis provisions go be

Bola Ahmed Tinubu also approve money to complete di Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Railway; wey connect Rivers, Abia, Enugu, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe and Borno

How goment go select families wey go benefit for the federal government grant?

Di statement wey Ajuri Ngelale, di toktok pesin for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, bin release, no get clear explanation about how dem go choose families.

Oga Ajuri Ngelale no dey reachable wen BBC Pidgin call am for more explanation on Friday. E no also reply message wey we send am.

Dis no be di first federal government grant wey Presido Bola Ahmed Tinubu dey share to poor pipo and households. For 2023, Presidio Bola Ahmed Tinubu announce one 'Conditional Cash Transfer' programme.

E say goment go dey pay ₦8000 evri month give 12,000,000 poor and low-income households for a period of 6 months.

Dat time, to qualify for di conditional cash transfer scheme you must fulfil certain conditions.

Goment say di moni na for pipo wey dey earn less dan $1.95 or N1500 in a day, and di names of pipo wey fall under dat bracket dey inside di National Social Register.

However, two months afta Presido Bola Ahmed Tinubu take ova, in July 2023, di National Economic Council - wey get all di state govnors as members - tok say dem no go use dat social register again sake of say e no dey credible.

Anambra State govnor, Chukwuma Soludo bin tell tori pipo dat time say NEC agree make states come up wit dia own registers "using formal and informal means".

So di state social registers fit be one of di options to use for di disbursement of di ₦50,000 federal government grant to di housholds wey go benefit.

100,000 Families In Each State To Get ₦50,000 Federal Government Grant For 3 Months


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday gave all the state governors 7 days to come up with concrete feedback on their plans to revive food production in their respective states.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave the directive at the 142nd National Economic Council meeting attended by state governors and some deputies at the State House, Abuja.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu also announced a National Construction and Household Support Programme which will see 100,000 families in each state getting ₦50,000 federal government grant for three months, ₦155,000,000,000 to be disbursed for assorted foods, ₦540,000,000,000 for household grants even as 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory will get ₦10,000,000,000 allocations each for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses.

The ₦50,000 federal government grant planned for 3,700,000 households across the 36 states and the FCT, the ₦10,000,000,000 allocation each for CNG buses in the 36 states and the FCT, as well as the ₦155,000,000,000 spending on assorted foods, are estimated to cost over ₦1,000,000,000,000.

While emphasising the urgency of boosting food production in the country, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu urged state governors to work together to meet the needs of Nigerians, stating his willingness to provide the needed support to ensure that Nigerians are relieved of hardship.

“We must deliver on our targets at all levels. Please report back following your consultations and submit it to my office within seven days.

“How much support do you need from me and in what form? I am prepared to provide it. But we must achieve the result.

“There is nothing we are doing that is more important than producing high-quality food for our people to consume, buy, and sell. We create jobs in the production of it. And that is before we generate wealth by exporting the excess. It is not beyond us to achieve this for Nigerians,” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's comments followed multiple economic challenges faced by the country. High inflation driven by the removal of fuel subsidies and exchange rate depreciation reached 27% year-on-year in October 2023.

This price surge, coupled with high food insecurity has increased the cost-of-living crisis, leaving Nigerians struggling to afford necessities.

Despite adopting significant policy reforms like fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification, the challenges of poverty, stalled per-capita growth, and a weak business environment persist and are compounded by external pressures such as global food price surges and geopolitical uncertainties.

At Thursday’s National Economic Council (NEC) meeting, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced new plans to boost agricultural productivity, strengthen the economy by creating opportunities in the real sectors of agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, and provide urgent economic relief for Nigerians.

This includes the immediate rollout of the National Construction and Household Support Programme to cover all geo-political zones in Nigeria.

“Under the programme, the Sokoto-Badagry Highway, which will traverse Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos, is prioritised,” according to a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Ajuri Ngelale.

The statement is titled, ‘President Tinubu urges governors to meet target on food security; approves immediate rollout of national construction and household support programme.’

The national construction and household support programme also prioritises other road infrastructure projects, such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which is underway and the Trans-Saharan Highway, which links Enugu, Abakaliki, Ogoja, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa and Abuja.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu also approved full counterpart financing for Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Railway; to traverse Rivers, Abia, Enugu, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe and Borno, as well as for the Ibadan-Abuja segment of the Lagos-Kano Standard-Gauge Railway; which will traverse Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Niger, Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano.

Mr Ajuri Ngelale noted that the national construction and household support programme would especially prioritise the Sokoto-Badagry road project “For its importance as some of the states it will traverse are strategic to the agricultural sustainability of the nation.”

Explaining the rationale for the project, the Presidency said, “Within the Sokoto-Badagry Highway corridor, there are two hundred and sixteen agricultural communities, fifty eight large and medium dams spread across 6 states, 7 Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones, one hundred and fifty six local government areas, thirty nine commercial cities and towns, and over 1,000,000 hectares of arable land.”

Other items under the National Construction and Household Support Programme include: “One-off allocation to states and the Federal Capital Territory of ₦10,000,000,000 for the procurement of buses and CNG uplift programme.

“Delivery of ₦50,000 uplift grant each to 100,000 families per state for three months—provision for labour unions and civil society organisations.

“Deployment of ₦155,000,000,000 for the purchase and sale of assorted foodstuff to be distributed across the nation.”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is attending the National Economic Council meeting, often chaired by his deputy, Vice President Kashim Shettima, for the first time.

National Economic Council (NEC) was expected to deliberate on the new minimum wage given President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's decision to step down the proposal of the National Minimum Wage Committee at Tuesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting to allow for more consultations with necessary stakeholders, including the state governors, all of whom are members of the National Economic Council (NEC).

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had said he would only submit a new national minimum wage to the national assembly for passage into law after such talks.

However, council members who briefed State House correspondents after the meeting were silent on the minimum wage matter.

Announcing the resolutions reached, the Minister of Agriculture, Abubakar Kyari, who joined the governors of Imo, Kano and Kogi to brief correspondents, revealed that the federal government has approved a $1,000,000,000 agriculture mechanisation programme that will set up one thousand agro-sector service providers across Nigeria with tractors.

Abubakar Kyari said, “We’ll have a minimum of two thousand tractors a year for the next 5 years and all other aggregation of agricultural commodities is going to be utilized at least nothing less than six hundred thousand youths to man these one thousand service centres.”

Abubakar Kyari stated that the elaborate plan is an arrangement with John Deere and Tata to provide two thousand tractors before the end of the year. They will be rolled out as soon as is feasible, Abubakar Kyari said, adding that the project was approved by the Federal Executive Council last Tuesday.

According to Abubakar Kyari, the Greener Imperative Project, which he said was still in the works, is a €950,000,000 project that will soon be launched.

Abubakar Kyari disclosed that the Federal Government was anticipating another deal with Belarus Tractors to supply two thousand tractors per year for the next 5 years, with nine thousand implements and spare parts, among others.

Abubakar Kyari also said Saudi Arabia had expressed interest in providing two hundred thousand metric tons of red meat every year and 1,000,000 tonnes of soya from Nigeria.

“We have already last week had a meeting with our entrepreneurs and we have come out with a roadmap where we can supply and satisfy that demand.

“We are looking at partnership with foreign governments, not necessarily trying to ask them to come and invest, but asking them what can we produce so that we can sell to you so that we can earn foreign exchange,” Abubakar Kyari added.

In his remarks, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State said that the National Economic Council (NEC) directed the sub-committee on crude oil theft right provide comprehensive recommendations to end the menace during the next meeting.

Governor Hope Uzodimma said that even though the sub-committee was expected to submit its report during Thursday’s meeting, “it was inconclusive.”

Meanwhile, Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State announced the constitution of the board of the Niger Delta Power Holding, which he said had operated for a long time without a supervising board.

Governor Abba Yusuf disclosed that it is made up of governors of Borno, Katsina, Imo, Ekiti, Kwara, and Akwa Ibom states representing the different geo-political zones.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, spoke of the activation of the Presidential Food Systems coordinating unit chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Federal Government Grant: The Disbursement Process Is Still Ongoing, And We Have Allocated About 60% of the 1,000,000 Grants - Honourable (Dr) Doris Nkiruka Uzoka-Anite

According to the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Honourable (Dr) Doris Nkiruka Uzoka-Anite all applicants of the federal government grant who are yet receive the federal government grant, should kindly note that the federal government grant disbursement process is still ongoing, and according to the Minister the Bank of Industry have allocated about 60% of the 1,000,000 federal government grant. Applicants can track the number of beneficiaries per Local Government Area (LGA) that have received the federal government grant so far on https://grant.fedgrantandloan.gov.ng/learn-more/disbursement.

The minister said "It is important to note that almost 4,000,000 Nigerians applied for the federal government grant of ₦50,000, but only 1,000,000 beneficiaries can be accommodated. This implies that not all applicants will receive the federal government grant. The selection is not based on who applied first for the federal government grant; everyone has an equal chance but by random computer generated selection. While President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may launch other social intervention programs in the future, there are no immediate plans at this time."

The Minister further said "the teams in my office and BOI have worked tirelessly to ensure this process is fair and accurate. Testimonial videos are already being shared, showcasing how the grant has positively impacted lives and we will share many more. We have prioritized accuracy over speed to ensure every Nigerian who applied has a fair shot. We had hoped to complete all 1,000,000 disbursements by now but the process has been delayed due to incorrect or missing data, duplicate and spurious applications, which we have had to meticulously clean up to ensure eligibility and validation."

The Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment Doris Nkiruka Uzoka-Anite also said "we are also at the final stages of vetting for the MSME and Manufacturing loans. Applications remain open, and disbursement will begin by July ending.

Finally, it is your right as citizens to criticise and hold the government accountable. However, we encourage constructive feedback without resorting to abuse or bigotry. Personal insults and hate speech are not likely to aid your applications and will not be tolerated. Together, we can build a more prosperous Nigeria. Thank you once again."

sauceEEP:
I am unclear as to why the letter is being addressed to Atiku Abubakar. Was it not during Buhari's administration that the NPOWER program, championed by Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President at the time, was initiated? Therefore, what influence could Atiku, who has not been in government for several decades, have on the current situation?

Kindly exercise patience.

PUNANI01:
What can he do about it?

Please exercise patience as we await feedback from the EXCOS.

PUNANI01:
Is Atiku the president?

Former Vice President.
