MINISTER ALLEGES POLITICIANS INTERFERING WITH CASH TRANSFER PROGRAM REGISTRATION. (PHOTO).


  

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Nentawe Yilwatda, says some politicians are trying to influence poor Nigerians who make the social register to enjoy the government’s conditional cash transfer.


The minister, who spoke on Monday, said some persons want his ministry to bend for political reasons but unfortunately it’s a partnership between us and the international community – the World Bank is involved, CSOs (civil society organisations) are involved and it’s not just a ministry activity.


The minister said he suspended cash transfers and that National Identification Number (NIN) and Bank Verification Number (BVN) are now compulsory for all digital transfers for audit and transparency purposes.


The minister said though 19.8 million poor Nigerians are captured on the nation’s social register to qualify for social safety funds, the government has validated only the identities of 1.2 people.


He said the government targets 15 million poor households with N75,000.


The humanitarian ministry has courted controversies since its establishment by former President Muhammadu Buhari.


In October 2024, President Bola Tinubu appointed Yilwatda to replace Betta Edu who was suspended in January 2024 before her removal.
