The Nigerian Federal Government has distributed over N600 billion (local currency) in cash transfers to more than 10 million households nationwide. This initiative has been ongoing for the past three years, beginning with President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The funds were distributed through a cash transfer scheme aimed at alleviating poverty and providing economic support to vulnerable populations. Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Bernard Doro, announced the disbursement figures. This large-scale program represents a significant investment in social welfare programs within the country. The government intends to continue and potentially expand such initiatives to reach even more citizens in need. Further details regarding the specific criteria for household eligibility were not provided in the initial report.
