“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.
