The Federal Government has announced plans to distribute N75,000 in cash to 70 million ‘poor’ Nigerians throughout 2025.

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, made this known during his appearance on The Morning Show on Arise Television on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

Prof. Yilwatda revealed that the ministry aims to roll out the program across all 36 states of the federation by the end of January 2025, targeting the registration of up to 18.1 million Nigerian households through the National Identity Number (NIN) system.

“We want to deploy by the end of January across 36 states to ensure we start harvesting the NIN number of up to 18.1 million Nigerian households that we need to capture as fast as possible so that we can make payment for them.

The target of the president is that we should target 15 million households. And an average household is about 4 to 5. We are discussing here roughly about 70 million households with about N75,000 per person this year,” the minister noted.

This move has caused a stir among Nigerians who took to social media to share their thoughts.
