BREAKING: Tinubu To Pay 12 Million Nigerians N8,000 Monthly (See Why)

Onyxnewsng reports that 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.

In a letter to the House of Representatives read by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas during plenary on Tuesday, Tinubu said it was support to enable poor and vulnerable Nigerians cope with the cost of meeting basic needs.

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.
