The Federal Government’s social investment programme through which cash transfers are made to the vulnerable has now covered 20 million Nigerians.
Minister of Finance Wale Edun stated this yesterday during a plenary session at the ongoing 30th Nigerian Economic Summit (#NES 30) in Abuja.
Speaking on the government’s reforms and expenditure priorities, Edun said the programme targets the poorest 60 percent of the population. “Currently, 20 million people, spread across 4 million households, have benefited from the programme, with plans to extend it to 15 million households in the coming months,” he said.
