'One million poor Nigerians to be paid N5000 monthly in 2016' - Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says one million poor Nigerians will be paid N5000 monthly as it has been appropriated for in the recently passed 2016 budget. In a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said N68.7 billion has been budget for this purpose.

The statement also adds that more than 8 million Nigerians will benefit from palliatives and incentives planned out for by the Federal Government this year to help cushion the effect of our harsh economic realities.


“Altogether, the Federal Government would be directly impacting the lives of more than eight million Nigerians in different social investment 2016 budget spending that would provide succor and be a ready-made palliative to ordinary Nigerians. The direct payment of N5000 monthly to one million extremely poor Nigerians for 12 months as provided for in the 2016 budget for which N68.7B has been appropriated. There is also a direct provision of very soft loan -cash for market women, men and traders, including artisans and agric workers. This would be for a total of 1.76m Nigerians, without the requirement for conventional collateral. Some of the traders will likely get about N60,000. A total sum of N140.3b has already been appropriated for this in the budget.” According to him, there will also be payment of between N23,000 to N30,000 per month to 500,000 unemployed graduates who would be trained, paid and deployed to work as volunteer teachers, public health officers and extension service workers, among other responsibilities. “They would also be given electronic devices to empower them technologically both for their assignments and beyond,” the statement added According to Osinbajo, N191.5 billion has been set aside by the Federal government to train and pay 100,000 artisans. “At least 5.5 million Nigerian primary school children –i.e. starting first in 18 states-three per geopolitical zones-would be fed for 200 school days under the free Homegrown School Feeding Programme. N93.1B has been appropriated for this in the 2016 budget. 100,000 tertiary students in Science Technology Engineering & Maths-STEM, plus Education will partake in the N5.8b already provided for this education grant in the budget. This payment would also be paid directly to the students.”the statement adds

Isn't this sheer folly?? 67.8 billion naira for 1 million poor nigerian? In a country of more than 180 million? How will the poor nigerians be picked? Millions of graduatets are jobless, and only 500 000 get to be paid 30k?? Why not create jobs/industries where
people can be gainfully employed?? Just say you want to waste the budget. These things you guys are planning will yield no long term results. Jeez! What sort of leaders do we have??😕😕

I wonder what their definition of 'poor' is? I foresee, the rich Nigerians in Federal and State ministries benefiting from this rather that the so called 'poor'...God save Nigeira. Besides, is this the job creation/empowerment programme that they should focus on to ensure those people can get on the path to sustainable income???? Poor governance, poor policies...weak economy

Osibajo, lie Mohammed,Fashola, Fayemi, Audu Ogbeh are d biggest jokers of dis administration.They claim to be exposed by virtue of their level of education and certificates unfortunately I c some bunch of south Western awoist whose academic prowess does not amount to commercial and economic development of any sort.Look @ what they want to waste when roads can b done to aide economic activities,power can b restored to aid bizness.This venture is not different from Jonathans stove project, when stoves worth millions where handed over d rural women.All our representatives from d south west r just disappointing,From Osibajo down to Fayemi they r just disappointing with their perfomance so far

Buhari, said he won't pay #5000 and Osinbajo said they will pay, who is deceiving who,
In addition, you want to fight corruption,yet u want to setup an institution that will support corruption,
Lastly, all this money budgeted to be used in feeding and paying graduate and the poor, why don't they fused it into, Electricity, subsidies fuel, promote exportation "which will appreciate naira" and give out huge loans to enhance marketing structures,
Why, My people if are not seeing the untold hardship yet to come then u are blind #Clueless APC #BrainlessBuhari with Hatred a d lack of administrative prowess

Lying pastor osinbajo cannot admit Goodluck did this as conditional cash transfer

Can someone help us to stop this man from interfacing and communicating with the nigerian public? His words are gibberish and more often than not it's like a retarded speaking. If he doesn't know how to deliver the message he has been sent, he should simply allow those knowledgeable about the issues to do so. Quite a disappointment.

First this money will end up in the wrong hands. Second 5k per person per month is virtually nothing. Third, PMB at this point needs good advisors lest Nigeria disintegrates.
