COVID-19: Statement calling N20,000 beneficiaries ‘poor’ is fake – Osinbajo
Reports emerged on Friday of Presidential Special Adviser on Social Investment, Maryam Uwais allegedly explaining that the names of beneficiaries of N20,00 could not be made public because they did not want to be identified as ‘poor people’
“They are invisible and dwell where the conventional society cannot see them and carrying journalists along to investigate the authenticity of the payments to the target persons will be cost-implicative to the scheme because the funds at hand cannot pay for extra burden as we are only managing what we have.”
According to him, the report making the rounds is an attempt to deceive the public and hide the truth.
