Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has called on the Federal Government and state governments to set up a palliative fund to assist Nigerians as they observe stay-at-home orders occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, Atiku observed that much of the Nigerian population live on subsistence basis and do not have the financial capacity to cope with long periods of isolation or lockdown.

Atiku announced a pledge of N50 million to the proposed fund, saying, “To this end, Priam Group pledges N50 million on my behalf as my humble contribution to a relief Fund that will form part of the stimulus package”. “I also call on all Mobile Telephony Companies in Nigeria to urgently develop mobile money platforms so that government can reach the unbanked with financial assistance.

atiku What a sensible man. If the FG like they should embezzle the money again. 😒😒😒. No need for too much talk Corona will fight our battle for we the poor🥴🥴🥴🥴.

atiku Lots of families are waiting for this, the fear of hunger is even killing people before the virus attack them.We want to stock up the house.Think about the our children,the orphans, widows, the people who can't eat if they don't go out, Some celebrities have started the give way.

atiku Some of us are now into 1, 0, 0. Please MBuhari ProfOsinbajo please do something to alleviate the hardship. Thanks.

atiku Just gave standing order to cbn - commercial banks to credit our account 20k at least .. America is sharing over $2trn as stimulus package to its citizens, so why can’t we follow suit .. abi dem swear for naija ni..
