#Covid-19: “We’ve Started Immediate Cash Transfer To Poorest Households” - FG Says

Sadiya Farouk, minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, says the ministry has commenced cash transfer to poorest households in the country to cushion effect of the coronavirus pandemic.

The minister said this during a press briefing by the presidential task force on the disease in Abuja, on Monday.

She said the vulnerable group will also be expanded to consider more persons during the infection period. “Because of this COVID-19, the vulnerable groups have to expanded, because we are aware that there are people who live on daily wage, so we are also going to look at those groups of people to see how we can get this food relief intervention to them in this period.” The minister said the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has deployed trucks of relief materials to states affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

The poorest people do they have bank account? when you talk about poorest  people, they are mostly rural dwellers, how do you identify them? Injecting money into  the economy is through  paying workers and that is why people are asking the government to pay extra cash to workers to argument their suffering. The poorest people minister are the insurgents you people are invariably funding and killing our soldiers unnecessarily. Looting the treasury in the name of sharing to the poor yet, lots of people are poor, who are you deceiving? Political pen robbers, Allah will judge you all.
