Finance Minister Wale Edun announced that over 600,000 households have benefited from the federal government’s direct cash transfer program, which has recently resumed after a six-week hiatus.
This pause was implemented to review concerns about potential mismanagement of the funds.
During a ministerial briefing in Abuja, Edun emphasized the government’s commitment to improving the economic situation for many Nigerians through transparent and effective social welfare initiatives.
Edun’s announcement reflects a renewed focus on responsible governance and economic recovery, signaling hope for those who rely on these funds for their daily needs.
The cash transfer program is a crucial part of the government’s strategy to support vulnerable populations, especially in challenging economic times.
By providing direct financial assistance, the government aims to alleviate poverty and enhance the quality of life for many families across the country.
The resumption of payments is a positive step towards restoring trust and stability in the program.
