We've heard from the news, the plans federal government has towards the poor,  they say is to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy, which is giving the poor 8k per month for the next six months to 12 million people.

Now here is the interesting part of the whole thing.

1, how do you identify the poor in Nigeria, because half of the Nigerian population are not working, so they can be seen to be poor too, so what measures will the FG deploy for the selection of the poor?
Because in the Buhari's administration, we had a social intervention program introduced too, and the FG said, they selected the poorest of the poor for the program, and billions of naira was doled out for that program and lots of people never saw a dime from it.


2, to what extent will 8 thousand naira go in cushioning the effect?
To what extent will 8 thousand go in cushioning the effect of the fuel subsidy, because the prices of goods and services has gone astronomically high, ranging from electricity bill, transportation, food items etc...

3. the last administration had this idea.
The previous administration had a conditional cash transfer, that we couldn't find a single person that benefited from that program, now to what extent did the program go, they said they gave physical cash to millions of people.
I think the FG should come up with real robust plan to  really cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy,  like providing busses 🚌🚌🚌  at strategic locations within the country, that people can pay a subsidised transport fee,  constant electricity at an affordable rate across the country etc..
