“Firstly, @ProfOsinbajo does not personally distribute money during his visits to the markets. He goes there to assess the progress of the implementation and to create awareness for a prog designed to meet the financing need of 2m petty traders across the country" @akandeoj
“Secondly, while one will not bother to further address the issue of timing of the implementation since such issues are now known to be political posturing, it's important to note that #TraderMoni is being actively implemented across all states and the FCT." @akandeoj
“These petty traders at the bottom of the economic ladder, with an inventory of < N5k, are beneficiaries of #TraderMoni which provides N10k collateral/interest-free loans, empowerment that improves their small biz, their families, while contributing significantly to the economy"
“Thirdly, in what is certainly a curious comment, OBJ has also been quoted as describing the #TraderMoni as idiotic. To label such people-friendly scheme as idiotic is not only an absurdity, it's also an affront to the sensibilities of these hard working Nigerians" @akandeoj
“Fourthly, OBJ rehashed discredited claims suggesting that #TraderMoni beneficiaries were required to tender their PVCs. Let me, state again that beneficiaries are not required to show their PVCs or any document indicating political affiliations to qualify for d loans" @akandeoj
