The Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has commended the Federal Government for the commencement of payment to the first batch of awardees for the five thousand naira Conditional Cash Transfer programme.
The pilot stage of the Social Investment Programme kicked off last week in some select states, including Kogi State, in fulfillment of this administration’s campaign promise.
“Also coming on the heels of the administration’s Homegrown School Feeding programme for primary school kids, as well as the N-Power programme for unemployed graduates around the country, it underlines the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari to meeting the needs of Nigerians of all social strata,” the governor said.
Appealing to beneficiaries to make do with the token sum, the governor assured that government at both state and federal level would continue to act in the best interest of the people.
