  "summary": "ActionAid Nigeria has called for transparency from the federal government regarding its proposed N50,000 cash support for poor and vulnerable Nigerians. The organization has raised concerns over the funding source, beneficiary selection criteria, and disbursement arrangements, questioning whether the intervention is financed through existing budgetary allocations or other sources. ActionAid has also raised questions about the programme's scale and sustainability, noting that supporting one million households with N50,000 monthly would require N50 billion, while five million households would cost N250 billion monthly.",
