The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty
Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, said the ministry would soon start the verification
of the social registrar for transparent distribution of fuel subsidy
palliatives.
Edu disclosed this on Friday during a Channels Television
interview.
She noted the ministry would soon commence the distribution
of the palliatives.
She said poverty alleviation is paramount to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
She added that the government would provide jobs to
alleviate poverty.
“We are starting with the Verification of the social
registrar to ensure that it is truly made of people who deserve the fund. We
will be creating humanitarian jobs.
“The ministry would be distributing palliatives to cushion
the effect of fuel subsidy removal.
“We will be very transparent to Nigerians; the target is to
lift 133 million Nigerians by 2030”, he stated.
Recall that Edu, upon resumption of office on Monday,
pledged commitment to lifting 133 million Nigerians out of poverty.
