Details of how President Muhammadu Buhari intends to fulfill his
promise of paying the poor and vulnerable 5,000 monthly has been
revealed.
The President said his intentions was to ease the hard life
Nigerians are facing and make them independent by helping them acquire
small and medium scale trades that will sustain them in times of need.
The President said his 5,000 monthly to the poor will go a long way
in helping many Nigerians cope with the hard times. He assured all that
the disbursement and procedure will be fair and true to the tenets of
justice and equity.
The President revealed all these during an interview session with
Mansur Liman of the BBC Hausa service on Christmas eve. He stressed that
his administration will ensure that monies meant for the poor would not
be diverted by heartless and dubious politicians who do not have the
people's interest at heart. He warned all politicians who might have
harboured the thoughts of stealing or engaging in corruption during his
administration to have a rethink as anyone caught will be made to face
the full weight of the law.
He said: "It is not possible for everyone needing it to get it;
but the Federal Government has said it would collaborate with the
states and local governments. At the local government level, almost
everyone knows each other. It would be easy to identify those to give
who would go into trading and how to get it back. It would be like a
cooperative and we all know how it operates. Also, state governments
would identify those who have capacity to employ more people and all we
need to do is to empower them. Our people already know how to go about
implementing these modalities to create employment for the citizens."
The president assured Nigerians that he will deliver on his campaign promises.
