Buhari orders immediate release of N5billion pledge to Boko Haram victims

According to reports, President Buhari yesterday directed the Head of Service of the Federation, Mr. Danladi Kifasi, to release the N5billion the government pledged to the Victims Support Fund (VSF), since July 2014. He made the order after the Chairman of the Funds Presidential Committee, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd.) told him that out of the N55.92 billion pledged at a fund-raising dinner for the Fund in August last year, N33.54 billion was still outstanding, including N5 billion from the Federal Government.


According to him, the VSF currently has N23.33 billion in four bank accounts, revealing that the government of former President Jonathan gave the Committee approval to incorporate the fund into a Trust Fund, to “insulate it from political interference’’.

  17. From empty treasury?
    Senior this man said he met empty treasury.
    Where has he been seeing the money to be flying, hopping and jumping every 2 days from country to country and releasing billion billions to state governments and BH people.
    Nigerians shine ya eyes.

    Looks like we have really entered one chance oh.
    They lied to us to get to power.
    They are on the seat of power, yet cannot perform, still busy accusing past govt.
    Now u have the wheel, take control, Buhari, and begin to drive this huge bus called Nigeria, stop going to disturb other Presidents that are busy driving their own busses.

    So, now everywhere he travels to, they name it......... In the fight against Boko Hoaram to justify him traveling there. Biko, when did BH gallivant across to reach Benin Republic eh? Lie lie Buhari, Baba, abeg sit down and get to work, we did not elect you to go on eternal traveling vacation. Neither are you a traveling sales man. You are becoming a huge joke.
