.@MKKyari: We are restoring the refineries, to at least 90% of installed capacity. We will have an O&M contract, we will not run the refineries ourselves. We will hand over the restored refineries to O&M contractors to run. This is what we failed to do in the last 43 years.

#AsoVillaToday
We speak of “Japa” as a one-way phenomenon, but we also have Nigerians constantly returning home. @abikedabiri is citing examples of Nigerians returning home, occasionally or permanently, to do interesting things, in Agriculture, Healthcare, etc. #StateHouseBriefing
.@abikedabiri: The hospital where the VP was recently treated was set up by Diaspora doctors. I’m not saying Nigeria’s not a challenging environment, but we must also acknowledge those who are coming back home to do impactful things.

A thread about Nigeria’s Conditional Cash Transfer program @HUPcct - one of the programs under the National Social Investment Programme; and whether N5,000 a month (current monthly payment, to 1.6 million Nigerian households) can make a difference in people’s lives or not.
HM @Sadiya_farouq was asked about the N5,000 at #StateHouseBriefing yesterday. A journalist, asking a question, spoke dismissively about the amount - that N5,000 cannot do anything.
Minister’s reply:

“Saying 5,000 cannot make a difference in ppl’s lives is an elitist statement. We know, ‘cos we’ve gone to the field. We’ve seen ppl, when you pay them this @HUPcct 5k, they cry ‘cos they’ve never seen 5k before. It goes a long way, changes their status.”
