Who Then Received The N20,000 From Fg ? by DellaGold: 5:07pm On Apr 07, 2020 |
Yesterday, my friend and I took a long drive around five remote villages in different places in Abuja, FCT. We visited villages in Dutse Alhaji, Lugbe, Kuje, Gwagwalada and Gudu. My motive was to find out if truly some poor Nigerians benefited from the N20,000 Federal Government has announced to have been distributed to over 2.6million Nigerians. We found out: 1. Some poor Nigerians especially in the Northern Zones have been receiving N5,000 monthly Stipends from FG since 2017. 2. Every beneficiary of the N5,000 has an issued ID card and all personal details captured in a book. As they disburse to you, you sign on the referenced month and they tick appropriately in their record. You have an alternative family member that can receive the money on your behalf in a situation where you're not available at the time. 3. This disbursement is done through a Federal Government program called HOUSEHOLD UPLIFTMENT PROGRAMME (HUP). One of the beneficiary in Kuje Area Council was kind enough to allow us take a Snap of his Beneficiary ID card after we assured him of keeping his identity private. See attached pictures. 4. Usually, at the beginning of the year, they do skip January disbursement and pay N10,000 by February. But this year 2020 they have not showed up. 5. They came beginning of April 2020 and started disbursement of the money. January to April money was dispensed at once (N5,000 X 4 = N20,000). This was NEVER termed Covid-19 Palliative package before them. 6. Many of them were shocked when they heard in the News and watched in the television that Federal Govt provided N20,000 Covid-19palliative package to them. To them, such News is false, as what they received and as ticked in their Cards was the usual N5,000 monthly stipends. DEDUCTION FROM OUR VARIOUS ENQUIRIES 1. Some Nigerians, especially in the Northern part of Nigeria has been receiving N5,000 Stipends from FG since 2017. 2. Some of the Beneficiaries are not really poorest of the poor Nigerians. The process of capturing and verification is too porous and insincere and so many of those who're not supposed to be captured in the programme get squeezed themselves in. 'Nigeria thing' many of us will term this one. 3. The N20,000 payment in all the places we visited is NEVER a Covid-19 Palliative package but the long established N5,000 Monthly Stipends to poorest of the poor Nigerians. 4. The alleged N20,000 Covid-19 Palliative package by Federal Government to 2.6million Nigerians is largely unfounded and unsubstantiated. If such money was shared at all, it's obviously to a far less number . However, I stand to be corrected with tangible facts on this. 5. Some agents of Federal Govt (e.g BPE) shared food items to some residents of Abuja, FCT as Covid-19 Palliative packages. No money was shared by them, just some few food items; Yam, Rice, Beans, Superghetti, Tomatoes, etc. 6. The N5,000 monthly stipend to poorest of the poor Nigerians seems to be effective only in the Northern part of Nigerians. On this too, I stand to be corrected with tangible facts. 7. Federal Govt should come up with clear statement on how the Vulnerable Nigerians who received the alleged N20,000 Covid-19 Palliative packages were selected and possibly gazette their information for public notice. Afterall, it's our money and we should know how it was spent. 3 Likes

Good journalism you did Op. However, you mixed HUB with poor of the poorest. Poor of the poorest( Poor and Vulnerable Households) is not the Nigerian government initiative. It is a World Bank project which I was part of in Ibadan while HUB is that of the Nigerian government. It was the register World Bank left behind that FG is using. According to World Bank representatives, they started that project in the Northern part of Nigeria but corruption would not allow it to work hence trying it on another region. Oyo state was picked due to the Yesso programme initiated by Ajimobi I think. There was a road map for them to follow. It made it a alot easier because they have marked areas with high vulnerability. It was in the inner most part of Ibadan communities. There you understand what it means to be poor. . Your community people would be the one to identify orphans, aged, persons with disabilities and widows. Though others are identified as well. The members will later prioritize. With that, your claim has already been ascertained. Next, is house to house of those identified to confirm their abode and see if they are actually vulnerable. Then, numbering and capturing followed. The capturing was done via cloud. It's an experience I won't forget in a long time. 1 Like |

is our leaders in Nigeria under spell? can they reason at all? at a crucial time like this, when the masses needed them most, yet they see as a way to siphon the money to themselves and families. I feel like cursing our leaders |

When APC campaigned with paying 5k to the poorest Nigerians, I knew we would henceforth all be working to pay almajiri so I'm not surprised. |

Buhari is a criminal. Mr. Integrity and fighter of corruption has turned to a scammer and looter of the Commonwealth of Nigerians. With all the monies looted by this government, they still find means to dupe, loan and borrow more just so they can be relooted. Such a shame |

OJODEL10: Good observation. Will do a research on that but ours due to the fact that they have provided the highest number of leaders. They have the population required to win elections. They are politicians. |
