The government says the beneficiaries are mostly poor and vulnerable Nigerians who may not have phones, social media access or other platforms to publicly share their experiences.
“We have given ₦75,000 to over 10 million Nigerians across the country using the conditional cash transfer under the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
Mind you, these people who are p00r and vulnerable don’t have telephones to make calls, they are not on social media. They don’t have a television. They cannot come and challenge and discuss as we are doing here, but they are out there..."
- APC chairman Nentawe Yilwatda says 10m Nigerians who received ₦75,000 cash transfers lack phones and social media access to speak about it.
