I have maintained that we must decisively deal with the issue of cost of governance in Nigeria now as a matter of urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obi argued that N3 billion should have been channelled to productive quarters and welfare schemes that impact lives of the poor citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same amount would have made a significant impact if prudently and transparently managed. Moreso, with more than half of our population battling with absolute and multidimensional poverty, one wonders why such a huge sum was approved for just verification of national register of the poor, when the same amount could have been directed towards actual poverty alleviation. This approval raises a fundamental question: how come the data for poverty alleviation has not been verified on a regular basis?,\u201d Mr Obi said.<\/p>\n<p>Obi\u2019s criticisms follow a leaked document granting approval to the humanitarian ministry to spend N3 billion for verification of national register of the poor from COVID palliative funds.<\/p>\n<p>Amid widespread public outrage over the leaked document, the presidency said that the N3 billion was approved for the national register of the poor.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the leaked document on X, a lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, said, \u201cN3 billion \u201cfor verification\u201d of \u201cNational Social Register\u201d?
