₦75,000 COVID Grant Rumour Causes Stir in Jigawa

False rumours about a ₦75,000 COVID-19 grant have caused widespread confusion and excitement across Jigawa State, as residents scrambled to verify claims that the federal government was disbursing the amount to beneficiaries in the state. The rumour appears to have emerged from confusion over earlier government interventions, including the Jigawa State Covid-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (J-Cares) Program, under which over 4,200 youth and women entrepreneurs received ₦212 million in grants. Under that initiative, each beneficiary received ₦50,000, not ₦75,000. The National Coordinator of the Nigeria COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES), Dr. Abdulkareem Obaje, has disclosed that the programme has positively impacted the lives of over 70 million Nigerians across the country. Jigawa State is one of the frontline states, having drawn about $9.6 million under NG-CARES out of the expected $30 million. In September 2024, 12,600 […]

AU anti graft board seeks youth partnership to fight corruption

The African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption has pledged to deepen collaboration with young people across the continent in order to tackle corruption and build a future based on integrity and justice. Chairperson Kwami Edem Senanu made the commitment in Arusha, Tanzania, in a statement marking International Anti Corruption Day 2025.​ Senanu described Africa’s youth as future custodians of the continent who are not only victims of corruption and illicit financial flows but also powerful agents of change.
