You this guy. Na wa for you o. Wetin I wan take 30k do? U sef reason am

Daylight robbery of the Nigerian state.
After sharing 30k naira to fathom bikers, the next will be market women, homeless people, people who are unable to pay school fees.
At the end of the day, no accountability.

Like seriously are we ok with all this


Grants that will only last moments, not even enough to get a bag of rice.

who do our politicians like this

Imagine 6yrs counting and a so-called political party APC can't identify a single achievement, no single employment(permanent employment pls) created

Electricity we have been managing have now turned to candle light.

How long are we gonna waid

How long is are we gonna cry silently

How long will our brothers in the Military keep dying

How long will the Nigeria keep molesting us

How long will Mr Lie MD keep giving false testimonies as a Info Minister.

As much as they are trying to reduce poverty, I think all these three months six months scheme is not needed. I see them as waste of resources. My not use the money to establish factories or business in each local government!

Some people will say the money distributed is small for such project. But it's because the govt is good in inflating project cost.

Government need to change their source ofr motivation that brings about all this grants and npower scheme

Thunder1010:
You mean#30,000,00 for okada man as a grant!! This is awesome.

Bros they won't get the grant. Trust me...
There's one they shared in my area...that was supposed to be shared to farmers and physically challenged people. Local govt staff were the ones collecting it. Just a handful of the people the money was originally meant for got it. Human being too wicked abeg.

.
See all this paid zombie..
Smh.

It baffled me really how some people would tie their whole life to #30,000 provided by the same FG who hold it as a duty to make their lives better. Same government that even devalued their lives in the first place.

Zeesugar:
In must rural areas you don't even need up to#2000 to start a business that can sustain a family all they need is just little amount.
MSMEs is doing a wonderful job.
Thank you

Mention a buisness 2k can start, tht can sustain a family

You can't trust the government again they have failed us, whatever they want to do let them do.

tillaman:
I smell scam

Me too. Especially GHOST BENEFICIARIES.

TheRareGem1:
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

YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BEG TO BE A CITIZEN FOR LIFE.
WITH 200 MILLION POPULATION, WE ARE HEARING ONLY SOME FEW thousand RECEIVING GRANT, WHAT ABOUT OTHERS?

THIS IS JUST CRAZY TO ASSUME THAT 10K IS OKAY FOR SOME PEOPLE

I think revamping the textile industry, and building more factories will take this people off the road and solve more unemployment problem.This will bring about permanent solution to growing poverty and unemployment among our teaming population. The initiative may seem laudable at first sight,but for a developing country like ours sharing money every now and then with all the signs of inflation around us may not go a long way.

"Putting money in people's hands"? What exactly does that mean?

helinues:

If d programme won't improve d living standard of nigerians, I don't see why "some enemies of progress" won't mock it

*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.

A great opportunities for all to benefit

Benefit in what way?

Thunder1010:
You mean#30,000,00 for okada man as a grant!! This is awesome.

So explain how 30k for okada man is awesome?

Joyce95:
This is another great opportunity for Nigerians to benefit from this scheme.

Mr influencer, how much do you get paid to celebrate this nonsensical news. The government has increased VAT, removed subsidies on petrol and also increased electricity tariff by 120% or more but you're here to celebrate N30,000. What happens to putting that money on infrastructures that will be available in the future or easing the burden exerted by the increments mentioned above?

Thunder1010:
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.

some people reason from their anus. The money they are giving out, is it their personal money? Have you ever heard Buhari 'dash' anyone his personal money since his existence.

This is commendable

I’m tearful, if this is well administered it’ll help a lot of needy families

Truly commendable

Almajiri Economic policy - handing cash to select persons.

Veqtor:
4500 ppl in each state?

So what happens to the rest of the people that won't get d grant?

Besides...can d 30k b able to buy a bag of rice?

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

Don’t let the now too many pay-per-comment made here eat you raw.

N30,000 Naira - a bag of cement is how much?

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.

Hope it is successful

Less than 100$ to do what with it?

Buy one bag of rice?

Nonsense. You can give govt officials jumbo pay but you can't even give your population good loans, fair interest rates or reasonable grants?

I see this as a waste. You can't boost the economy by sharing money every now and then.
This government lack good economy policy.
