The Federal Government has made plans to restart the direct cash transfer to the poorest and most vulnerable Nigerians.

The federal government projects that 12 million people, households can benefit from these direct payments, in addition to the 3 million Nigerians benefitting from these programmes, due to the sharp rise in the cost of living, bringing the total to about 15 million households.

This was revealed by Wale Edun, minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, during a retreat of the ministry on Wednesday in Uyo.

Presidential panel to recommend restart of direct cash payments

Edun said that the presidential panel on the social investment programmes are set to meet with President Bola Tinubu and recommend the restart of the direct cash payments to the poorest and most vulnerable Nigerians.

He said,

“The presidential panel on the social investment programmes, have prepared to go to Mr. President with an internal recommendation to restart the direct payments to the poorest and the most vulnerable. Everything is being done to ease the pain.

“We know that there’s been about 3 million beneficiaries now, but given the way the rates have gone, there are probably another 12 million people, households that can benefit from that payment.”

The minister noted that the expansion of the direct cash transfer aims to reach a wider population struggling with the economic situation and to put more money directly in the hands of those who need it most, allowing them to prioritize their needs and alleviate poverty.

He stated that the decision to inform the President of the Panel’s decision before the final report is completed is to keep the President abreast of developments, adding that technology will be used to ensure smooth and transparent payments, avoiding manual processes and delays.

The minister aid: “The only thing delaying that is not waiting for the end of the report. It is something that the intervention is meant to happen immediately.

“We have experts in technology, the commitment was to make sure that we use technology to ensure that we have a seamless payment, a seamless movement between the registered and the direct beneficiaries, without any manual processes in between. So it’s taking time to automate that process immediately that direct payment will resume”.
