EXCLUSIVE: Ekiti State To Spend N12.7bn On ‘Cash Transfers’ In Three Years, Beneficiary Details Unclear
A review of the Ekiti State Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) shows the state will spend ₦12.7bn on cash transfer programmes between 2025 and 2027.
The breakdown: ₦4.05bn (2025), ₦4.2bn (2026), and ₦4.5bn (2027) under the Ekiti CARES Cash Transfer Delivery Unit.
However, the number of targeted beneficiaries remains unspecified.
Past reviews show Ekiti awarded ₦1.074bn in seven contracts (2021–2022) for similar transfers. At the federal level, officials recently announced plans to reach 2.19m Nigerians this month alone under the National Social Investment Programme.
Critics say the scheme risks the same accountability and corruption issues that have plagued past cash transfer programmes, including ghost beneficiaries and diversion of funds.
