The Federal Government has disbursed over N438 billion to 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory under the Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES) programme, aimed at mitigating the impact of socioeconomic shocks and improving the livelihoods of poor and vulnerable Nigerians.

The funds were disbursed based on the results achieved by the states and FCT during the third Independent Verification Agency assessment carried out in January 2024.

Dr. Abdulkarim Obaje, National Coordinator of NG-CARES Programme, stated that the funds would support state governments and the FCT in addressing multidimensional poverty and improving the livelihoods and resilience of the poor and vulnerable population.

He thanked the Federal Government, particularly the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Bagudu, for the initiative and leadership provided to the programme.

The funds are channelled towards various projects, including social safety nets, food security, and small business support.
