Twitter users on Tuesday asked the Federal Government to identify the poor Nigerians, who benefited from the $103.64m Abacha loot, it claimed to have disbursed.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that the Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments, Mrs Maryam Uwais, said that the Federal Government has been channelling the recovered Abacha loot and the International Development Association /World Bank credit towards programmes and policies designed to address the plight of poor and vulnerable Nigerians.
Uwais said that the funds, which were specifically being disbursed to beneficiaries of the National Cash Transfer Programme, a component of the National Social Investment Programme, noted that the gesture was positively changing the fortune of many Nigerians.

Thought the president @PMB, said Abacha is a clean and honest person that he doesn’t stole/loot Nigeria money. Mr Integrity indeed. Hmmmm.

God will surely punish those greedy politicians relooting this money. What happened to using the money to equip hospitals, rebuild dilapidated infrastructures and invest in social development that will benefit all masses including the genuine poor? What is wrong with Africans?

I thought Mr president said that Abacha did not steal naija money? Meanwhile who are the poor? Let hose they give the money speak out so we know it’s true.
Saying one thing for face off and using pen to write the money into their pockets.

The $103.64m Abacha loot is approximately N37b and FG claimed it disburses the money to poor Nigerians. If they are stupid enough to think Nigerians will believe this nonsense then they don’t rate us at all.
Note: Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.
