Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work.

 Oyo State Approves Expansion of Social Register to Support Vulnerable Households


The Oyo State Government has approved the expansion of its social register to better identify and assist poor and vulnerable individuals eligible for social intervention programs. 


The announcement was made by Salami Ismail, Acting Coordinator of the State Operation Coordinating Unit, during advocacy and sensitization visits to political leaders and management teams in 12 local government areas participating in the 10th round of the Community-Based Targeting exercise. 


In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, Ismail explained that the expansion of the register is part of Governor Seyi Makinde’s commitment to supporting disadvantaged households across the state. The social register, initially launched in 2013 with World Bank funding and later supported by the Federal Government, is updated to include households that have recently fallen into poverty or moved out of vulnerability.


The identification process uses a community-driven approach, with local government teams conducting poverty assessments to rank communities based on verified government data. This effort aims to ensure that aid reaches those most in need.
