He disclosed that the beneficiaries will receive a monthly stipend of N7,500 and that the payment will be made directly into their individual bank accounts, which have been opened for them during the orientation programme. Aregbe added that both the State and local governments would be responsible for procurement of tools for the beneficiaries.
He further explained that based on the design of the programme, payment of stipend to beneficiaries will be co-funded by the State government and the World Bank, with the government advancing the initial 100% payment and that the World Bank will make a quarterly reimbursement of 90% to the government.
