Speaking to the press, Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State said contrary to what the previous administration projected, it is not possible to digitally transfer money to the poorest of the poor, most of whom are unbankable.
According to Governor Soludo, NEC resolved that the states will come up with their own registers using formal and informal means to develop it, thereby assuring that all beneficiaries at the subnational level can easily be accessed.
