The Presidency on Saturday, dismissed reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved N30,000 relief package to be given to every Nigerian with a verified Bank Verification Number (BVN) to cushion hardships occasioned by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak across the country.
Reports surfaced on social media claiming that the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, has announced the presidential approval of the N30,000 package in a statement.
“The President announced the relief package to be given out N30,000 to every Nigerian who has a verified BVN account to ease pressure posed by the order to lockdown economic activities.
“The N30,000 relief fund will be given to every Nigerian with verified BVN account. I am sure the fund will go a long way to help Nigerians stock up their home during the stay-at-home order by the Government,” the statement had quoted Adesina as saying.
However, the presidential aide, said the supposed approval by the President was concocted by those he described as ”fake news peddlers.”
Adesina, on his official Twitter handle on Saturday, said: “Fake news peddlers have concocted a statement, purportedly issued by me, saying FG will pay N30,000 to each Nigerian with BVN, to help them stock up before an impending national lockdown. Not me.
”The so-called statement is hereby disclaimed.”
Meanwhile, the number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria as it stands is 89, according to NCDC.
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both
equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail
on the head. The issue is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something concerning this.
I do agree with all the concepts you have presented on your post.
They are really convincing and will certainly work.
Still, the posts are very short for novices. Could you
please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about,
why throw away your intelligence on just posting
videos to your weblog when you could be giving
us something enlightening to read?
Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I
find It truly useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and help others like you helped
me.

hard in support of his web site, as here every material is
quality based information.
