I think that cash transfer for me, in my opinion, is a scam. Completely, it is a scam. I can be very certain about that, because who are you transferring the money to?\u201cLet me give an example; go and check the current statistics. Like I said, as the Chairman, Committee on Banking for four years in Nigeria, I oversee the Central Bank, I oversight all the commercial sectors of our economy for the last four years and I look at the statistics, I will be very firm on this issue and you can go and check it,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The governor, however, noted that the government should first ensure that the financially excluded individuals especially in the North-west are taken care of and brought into the financial system before implementing the cash transfer programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 70 to 75 per cent of the rural population in the North-west are financially excluded completely. You will have to go and check; these people we are talking about are important people in society. They do not even have a bank account so who are you transferring the money to?\u201cLet\u2019s try and work very hard to make sure that they are financially included; that is the most important thing and I will like to call on our development partners \u2013 the World Bank \u2013 to put more money towards bringing more people into the financial services and the vulnerable in particular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us put more money in to ensure that we open accounts for them, get them involved; if we don\u2019t do that, no matter what we do, however you do it, money will go to the wrong people, that\u2019s the fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Bola Tinubu had earlier unveiled his administration\u2019s plan for a monthly N8,000 transfer to 12 million of the poorest households in the country for six months, in a bid to cushion the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy.<\/p>\n<p>But days after the announcement, the federal government said it would review the move following the public outcry it generated among Nigerians.Recall that following the removal of the petrol subsidy and the recent hike in petrol prices to up to N617 \u00a0per litre, the National Executive Council (NEC) agreed on palliative measures for Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>NEC also considered integrity tests on state social registers as cash transfers would be done via state social registers subject to state peculiarities.The federal government also initiated a six-month cash award policy for public servants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has described the proposed cash transfer policy of the federal government as a scam.
