Abuja.
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said that the government is determined to fulfill its promise to pay N5000 monthly to vulnerable Nigerians.
Mohammed made the comment on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, during a meeting with representatives of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Abuja.
“This
Government will not give excuses. The painstaking and methodical
approach by the Buhari Administration, its deep analysis and
understanding of the challenges and the recent inauguration of the
cabinet will herald a new dawn,” he said.
“Nigerians
will witness measurable and impactful progress in all spheres of
governance. We shall not abandon our social intervention policies such
as one meal a day for school children and the payment of 5,000 Naira
each to vulnerable Nigerians. We are committed to lifting millions of
Nigerians out of poverty,” Mohammed added.
The N5000 is expected to be paid by the government in line with a promise made by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during its presidential campaign.
