President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on 12th July 2023 forwarded a letter to the House of Representatives over ameliorating hardships on 12m families by paying them N8,000 for six months as regards the hardships Nigerians faced over the removal of subsidy.
During plenary in the House of Representatives, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas read the letter to express the support of the president in enabling the poor and vulnerable Nigerians to cope with the cost of meeting basic needs.
The letter further connotes approval of additional financing for the national social safety net programme scaled up by the National Assembly.
This would have a multiplier effect on about 60 million individuals in the federation.
Meanwhile, guaranteeing the credibility of the process, digital transfers would be made directly to beneficiaries' accounts.
