The World Bank just unlocked another 500 million dollars for Nigeria's poverty relief program after confirming all requirements got met, and National Coordinator Abdulkarim Obaje said states can start pulling funds for their units once independent verification happens. The cash drop aims to help struggling households, small farmers, and businesses that took hits from economic chaos.
Obaje called the funding a major win for President Tinubu's social protection push and thanked Budget Minister Abubakar Atiku Bagudu for steering things toward the program's solid performance ratings. The Federal CARES Support Unit plans to keep backing state rollouts with technical help while making sure everyone follows program standards during implementation.
