ICYMI: President Tinubu To Pay Nigerians N8,000 Monthly

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said 12m families will get N8,000 over a period of six months to ameliorate the hardships faced by Nigerians as a result of subsidy removal.

The letter was for approval of additional financing for the national social safety net programme scaled up by the National Assembly.

He said this would have a much effect on about 60 million people.

In order to guarantee the credibility of the process, he said digital transfers would be made directly to beneficiaries accounts.
