The Federal Government has disclosed that over two million poor households will soon benefit from its conditional cash transfer programme.
Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Tanko Sununu, gave the assurance on a television programme in Abuja. He explained that the National Social Safety-Net Coordinating Office is already compiling names of the most vulnerable Nigerians from the national social register.
The minister added that the initiative will begin before the end of August, noting that President Tinubu’s administration has disbursed hundreds of billions of naira to support the poor and vulnerable.
