The Federal Government has disbursed more than ₦600 billion in cash transfers to vulnerable Nigerians over the past three years, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction Bernard Doro has said.

Doro disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, saying the intervention had reached slightly more than 10 million households.

The minister’s comments came after the Federal Government launched its $1 billion Renewed Hope Social Protection Programme, aimed at moving vulnerable Nigerians beyond temporary relief towards sustainable economic empowerment.

The programme, unveiled by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, includes the Household Prosperity and Empowerment Social Protection Project (HOPE-SP), which seeks to establish a coordinated social protection system focused on helping households move out of poverty.
