The federal government on Friday, 10th of April published the breakdown of 11 million “poor and vulnerable” Nigerians by states.
Recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari in his Covid19 speech, Paragraph 54, directed "that the conditional cash transfers" for the next two months be paid immediately to the most vulnerable people in Nigeria. Which also includes the Internally displaced persons.
Excerpt from the broadcast speech:
"54. For the most vulnerable in our society, I have directed that the conditional cash transfers for the next two months be paid immediately. Our Internally displaced persons will also receive two months of food rations in the coming weeks",.
According to the National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO), the number cuts across 2.6 million households.
Zamfara State has the highest number of vulnerable with 1.34million people across 290,000 households while Sokoto State is the least with 18,435 across 3,347 households.
However, South-East geopolitical zone has the lowest number of vulnerable Nigerians with 383,316 among all the regions.
NASSCO, however, did not include Ebonyi and Ogun States on the list, because the states are still in the process of building their social register.
