THE FG SOCIAL PROTECTION PROGRAMME: IS IT MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF NIGERIANS?
The Federal Government has social protection programmes designed to support vulnerable Nigerians and improve their livelihoods. But how much do citizens know about these interventions? Who is benefiting, and how effective are these programmes in addressing the needs of the people they are meant to serve?
The Federal Government reported disbursing ₦658.9 billion to 10.46 million poor and vulnerable households by September 2026, using biometric and digital verification systems to identify beneficiaries and deliver payments
I recently took to the streets to hear directly from Nigerians about the FG Social Protection Programme. Now, I want to take the conversation beyond street opinions and into the hands of those who understand the policies, processes, and realities behind the programme.
I AM LOOKING FOR AN EXPERT!
Are you a social protection specialist, public policy analyst, development practitioner, researcher, or government official with in-depth knowledge of the Federal Government's Social Protection Programme?
I would love to have a conversation with you in an interview to examine how the programme works, its implementation, accessibility, impact, and the challenges that may be limiting its effectiveness.
If you have the expertise, or know someone who does, please send me a DM or tag them in the comments.
