The Minister of Humanitarian and Poverty Reduction, Dr Bernard Doro, said the ministry had 19.7 million names of vulnerable households on its National Social Register. We cannot dispute the figure. It couldn’t have been less in a country where the majority of the people live below the poverty line.
Sometime ago, Nigeria was rated as the world’s poverty capital. We can do better.
The Government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been trying to reduce the poverty rate in the country. We appreciate it.
We want to let the Government know that majority of those captured on the National Social Register have not received the stipend. Their ‘modus vivendi’ has become worse by the day.

It is therefore strongly suggested that disbursement of funds to those who have been captured and listed in the Social Register be accelerated to give them lifeline and enhance their socioeconomic status.
It is known that those captured in Ogbomoso South and Ogo Oluwa Local Government Areas have yet to receive any money.
Please, expedite action on it.
