Women being registered for the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) at Yashi Community, Alkaleri Local Government Bauchi State.
More than 14, 000 beneficiaries in Kwara State are receiving N5, 000 monthly under the Federal Government’s Household Uplifting Programme, also known as Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme.
Hajia Aminah Yahaya, the Head of the programme in Kwara disclosed this on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin.
According to her, the beneficiaries are drawn from 480 communities in the 16 local government area of the state.
“Every local government has 30 communities uniformly. When we multiply this by 16 local governments, it gives us 480.
“So we have over 14, 000 beneficiaries from the state so far. Of course there is a plan to step up that number”, she said.
When asked when the number would be stepped up, Yahaya said “we wouldn’t know because we are not directly in-charge of targeting the beneficiaries.
“Ours is to pay to the beneficiaries. So as soon as names are available, it will be shared with us and once it is shared, we will commence payment.”
She explained that as one of the eight pilot states, Kwara had started receiving success stories from the beneficiaries of the programme as the money helped in changing the lives of the beneficiaries for better.
