Gov @jidesanwoolu: We are doubling our health budget in the 2020 budget. We are also prioritizing health insurance, we will be starting by putting the entire civil service of Lagos State on our health insurance scheme. #JH
Gov Sanwo: Waste Management - by shifting the focus to waste-sorting at home/points of generation, we will be taking a lot of pressure away from public waste management facilities. That’s why @Lawma_gov launched the BLUE BOX sorting / recycling programme. #JH @muyiwag
Gov Sanwo: Our School Rehabilitation Programme is starting with 300 Public Schools, we have provided for this in our 2020 Budget, which the Lagos State House of Assembly has just passed into law today. #JH

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.”

“Our relationship is directly related to our commitment to the service of our people and country… Our state was very lucky to find such a person in Professor Zulum… Borno State got it right with him….”

“I am a philosopher king, and none of the vagaries of power holds much tenacious attraction to me. In life, as in politics, there are the winter years; you go into hibernation and blossom during the summer period.” — Senator @KashimSM
“I held sway for eight years, but when a new sheriff came into town I had to move up to a higher plane and went off the radar and allowed him to blossom and call the shots.”

Made a vow to mostly mind my Biz this year. But when I see a horribly wrong, IGNORANT, stupid tweet like this, I can’t help diving in 😀

1. China doesn’t give you money to do as you please with.

2. Kano-Maradi Rail is NOT a Chinese project! mota-engil.com/wp-content/upl…

#thread
“China gave you loan to build railways and you decided to build one to the deserts of Niger.”

Clearly ignorant as to how these loans work. He thinks China just hands over cash and @NigeriaGov decides to do whatever they wish with the cash.

LMAO. This is really daft, sorry
All loans from China are tied to specific projects - so far the portfolio includes Rail, Airport and ICT projects. The details are public, on @DMONigeria website.

So the idea that Nigeria can decide what to use a loan for, post-approval, suggests this person KNOWS NOTHING
