The President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Programme has kicked off with Biometric Capture and Account Opening in Borno camps for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP).

The programme is a part of the scheme under the ‘Social Investment Programmes’ of the government of Muhammadu Buhari. According to this initiative, one million extremely poor Nigerians would receive 5,000 naira monthly in 2016.

Laolu Akande, the special assistant to the vice president Yemi Osinbajo, clarified that for the Conditional Cash Transfer, the money would be paid directly to the recipients through a payment system that was being worked out.

Osinbajo’s aide said World Bank and the Bill Gates Foundation were also cooperating with the federal government to develop an efficient payment system.

During the presidential campaign Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress, vowed to pay 5,000 naira a month to the unemployed and the poorest youths in the country.

  1. WF Maymu Naa am too matured to start this with you.am just expressing my observation on the picture above is quite clear that we still have poor Christians in Nigeria am not disputing that fact but if the government wants to do anything he should do it for both religion not just the Moslem.so don’t get me wrong. And I advice you learn how to talk you must not sound rash to be heard

  2. The federal government have to be judicious in the payment of this #5000 stipend designated for the poor Nigerians. They should make sure that such stipend is extended to all the six geopolitical zones of the country, not concentrated on one particular region because i believe that every region in our country Nigeria has poor people living among the rich.

  3. Those with their senses. .are always with it..people accept anything they see or the they hear..there are things in life happening that you must know of it…out of millions of Nigerian youth all over ..you must have one or two people that you know they received such pay in your environment. .when did they started registration for payment. ? Is it manual or bank payments. .? People should be sensible enough to think of those things before payment commences. …wakeup guys ..this is network confusion. ..this picture shows women only no any man …i don’t may be this women section of the program. .
