The Ekiti State Government on Wednesday announced the commencement of the implementation of its Social Welfare Scheme for the needy, aged and unemployed.
Under the scheme, 10,000 beneficiaries already shortlisted, would receive N5,000 each monthly.
Gov. Ayo Fayose, who launched the scheme, said beneficiaries cut across various strata of the society.
He said the money was being paid directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
According to the governor, the programme was designed to reduce the financial challenges faced by the beneficiaries.
The governor assured that in spite the current economic downturn, his administration would still find ways of helping the downtrodden to enable them live in some level of comfort.
He said the beneficiaries cut across the physically-challenged, the albinos, visually-impaired, the aged, among others.
The governor said no fewer than 6,000 beneficiaries had their accounts credited with the money on Wednesday, Oct. 5, the kick-off date.

Stella at all at all na him bad pass nah.
DeleteStella, though 5k seems a small amount but will go a long way for certain people who have nothing coming in at all.
DeleteSocial welfare money is usually stipends all over the world, they won't give huge amounts so that people do not get comfortably lazy without looking for other means to make money. The 5k is meant for basic sustainability whilst you search for a job or decide what else to do. Me thinks
Stella it's €10. Not one. No comments. May God not allow us see poverty. What I spend in one day is what some are getting for a month. Nigeria shaaaa...... In UK Shebi na £100 a week for Brits on welfare. Am I right?

ReplyDeleteI thought this was suppose to be "FG social welfare scheme" enacted by bubu himself, why is he making it sound he Initiated the scheme?
ReplyDeleteAnyways,
So what happened to the remaining 31 state governors? When will they carry out this act?
P.Charming, what has this got to do everything Buhari agn when Buhari & Osibanjo have come out to renounce, recant & sing same old song about their "fake" promises.
DeleteImagine still trying to paint Bubu good in the midst of this kind APC induced hardship

ReplyDeleteNice one.
ReplyDeleteCommendable.Stella you that is screaming,which other governor is following suit.

ReplyDeleteHas he paid salaries? If he has, then it's a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! A couple of month ago, he opted to join civil servants in his state who were planning to go on strike for lack of salary payment. What became of that?
DeleteAbeg Stella the man try.. Our APC govt still dey do ojoro for their own list wey Neva see the light of day.
ReplyDeleteMay be this one go shame dem to act fast..
Tell'em oh. Exactly
DeleteI wish i could get my hands on some of that money right now to give to people who really need it, instead of it going to some ghosts who are already at hand to grab it.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. I just started a one woman NGO, i want to bring clothing and food to the poor around Abuja. I have carried out my research and i am ready to start doing this but i am still gathering the products i need to give to them. I don't have these things personally to give to them and that is why i have come to you guys on their behalf. I am asking Abuja residents that can afford it, for clothes, shoes, bags(Female, Male, Children) and food stuffs that you can spare because some of these people lack these things, soooooo many are living so far below poverty level that their plight will melt your heart. I am a beaded jewelry designer and really want to help some of them in a little skill acquisition but they can not even afford the materials to use for the training, please i also plead for your help in that aspect, i plead for your financial help in funding this. These people might not be able to thank you in person but believe me their prayers for you will reach Gods ear. I also want to start a soup kitchen like they do abroad where any hungry person can come off the street and be sure of a good meal even if it is once every week, i do not know anybody in government or any wealthy person that i can meet to sponsor this, but i have you guys, my blog family. You can contact me with 08053658026 or send a mail to beaddazzle86@gmail.com and anyone who has the time can also join me in person to this, it is really fulfilling. Each of us has something he or she is asking God, helping those less privileged than you might hasten your miracle, thanks and God bless you. Stella please enable this oooooooo.

ReplyDeleteFayose himself is stealing the money and using this scheme as a sham. After his tenure and efcc tells him to account for billions fayose will say h distributed it to the poor whereas the money will be in his accounts. Efcc pls torch your lights on this scam from now.
ReplyDeleteFayose fete sile, onpa lapalapa. He's owing almost 1yr salary and he has no plans to pay. 3/4 of the social welfare money is already designed for Fayoses pocket. Period

ReplyDeleteFayose you are a big fool.so you want to be deceiving people.why not pay people their salary first.Those people worked for it.you are owing up to 8month salary.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Someone that is owing salaries, wants to pay social welfare stipends? Reeks of so many things.
ReplyDeleteIs 1 euro equal 5000? The man tried.
ReplyDeleteAm happy for then
ReplyDeleteIf he's actually going to carry out this scheme fairly then it's a right step from the right direction.
