FG sharing money

As President Muhammadu Buhari-led government continue to share palliatives to cushion the effect of the lockdown order as a result of coronavirus pandemic, some Nigerians have urged the FG to pay them via BVN.

Recall that President Buhari had on Monday during a nationwide broadcast stated that the initial 14-day lockdown in affected states is still on.

The President said that the decision was taken in order to curtail the spread of coronavirus disease in the country.

Some Nigerians took to their social media pages to demand that the federal government pay them at least N20,000 from all the billion naira donations, with a hashtag ‘pay us via BVN’ which is the number one trend on Twitter.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from twitter:

@yemihazan ”Namibia government has started transferring money to it’s citizens bank accounts & every other means employable.. We have the money, resources and a good amount of donations.. we can’t go another 14 days in emptiness !pay us via BVN.”
