President Bola Tinubu on Sunday said his administration will commence the cash transfer to 15 million poor households in October.
The President stated this in his first Independence Anniversary speech, pledging to boost employment and urban incomes.
He said, “Commencing this month, the social safety net is being extended through the expansion of cash transfer programs to an additional 15 million vulnerable households.
“To boost employment and urban incomes, we are providing investment funding for enterprises with great potential. Similarly, we are increasing investment in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.”
On security, the President also reiterated his administration’s commitment to the protection of lives and properties of Nigerians.
In doing this, the Commander-in-Chief said security agencies will emphasise more on inter-service collaboration and intelligence gathering.
