The Presidency on Saturday debunked the report on social media that N30, 000 has been approved for each Nigerian with a Bank Verification Number, BVN, as a palliative for cushioning the effect of stay at home order to stop the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.
There have been online reports that the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina has in a statement said that President Muhammadu Buhari approved the said N30, 000 for Nigerians that linked their bank accounts to BVN.
The purported reports claimed that the federal government had set aside billions of naira to be distributed to about 40 million Nigerians at N30,000 per person and that the modus would be to reach everyone through his BVN.
