I am here to tell you all that the 20,000 Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) by the FG is not a palliative for the COVID19 palava. Its been ongoing for 2years now. 5,000 per month. Since the beginning of 2020 they have not been paid yet. All Buhari did was to order 4month

payment at once making it 20,000. I think that is where Nigerians have been missing it. And yes, it is not a scam, real poor people in very rural communities have been recieving this money for 2years. How do i know, you may want to ask? As a civil society person i have been

tracking and monitoring the disbursement of CCT and even trained field monitors on how to track this funds for some time now through a civil society project 'Monitoring of Recovered Assets in Nigeria through Transparency and Accountability (MANTRA)' implemented by

African Network on Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ) and it's partners supported by UKAID. In Cross River State in particular where i have been the State Supervisor through one of ANEEJ partners called Green Concern for Development (GREENCODE) implementing this project in

in Cross River, i and my team have had one-on-one interactions with over 5,000 beneficiaries of this program. As i speak to you, today i was at Akamkpa LGA to monitor this payment but it was shifted to next week due to the public holidays.
