National Coordinator of the National Cash Transfer Office in the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Dr. Temitope Sinkaiye, stated this during a courtesy visit to Kano Deputy Governor, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna. According to her, the gesture was in line with Federal Government’s determination to better the lives of the poor and the vulnerable across the country.
She described the N20,000 as their monthly stipend to enable them start up small scale businesses to better their lives and that of the members of their families, as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari. She said the beneficiaries are being tutored on how to use the money to empower themselves through group savings and establishment of small scale businesses.
