On Tuesday, the House of Representatives issued a summon for the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu.
The House is seeking clarification on the status of the conditional cash transfer program initiated by President Bola Tinubu’s administration, which aims to benefit 15 million households.
This development came in response to a motion of urgent public importance presented in the green chamber.
Members of the House expressed concerns regarding the handling of the programme and the perceived lack of transparency.
The Minister is expected to provide detailed information on the data collection process and the distribution of funds to beneficiaries.
President Tinubu officially launched the Renewed Hope Conditional Cash Transfer for 15 million households back in October.
According to the Minister, these 15 million households encompass approximately 62 million Nigerians, and they are expected to receive a monthly transfer of N25,000 for three months, totaling N75,000 for each beneficiary.
