Covid-19: APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu, Begs The Federal Government To Use BVN To Pay Emergency Relief Funds To Households

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has urged the Federal Government to make cash payments to households through the Bank Verification Numbers, BVN, to cushion the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on Nigerians.

Tinubu gave the advice in a statement issued in Lagos, on Wednesday.
He said that payments could be made quickly, by using the BVN of prospective recipients, to make direct deposits into individual bank accounts.

The APC Leader, said that the use of BVN would also be safer, and not lead to the types of violence and crime that might follow physical cash transfers.

Tinubu stated that this would even encourage those without bank accounts to establish such accounts, and this process would further bring millions of people into formal banking.

“The money-less family still needs food, water, shelter, and to a lesser degree, utilities. In a compassionate society, they should not be made to do without.

“Most families need relief. If relief is not forthcoming, these families risk hunger and its attendant suffering and woes”, Tinubu said.

He noted that the palliative measures would blunt hunger, maintain aggregate demand in the domestic economy, and help sustain private-sector markets to the extent possible.

Tinubu explained that such payments could be done in either one or in a combination of three ways.

He said: “First, we can designate a stipend for every household. The amount should be enough to pay for the monthly needs of an “average” household for food and other basics.

“While this may somewhat penalise larger families, perfection cannot be had at this time.

“Second, the stipends could be given as a form of emergency unemployment insurance, to those who can prove they were relieved of employment due to the crisis.

“This will be more targeted at the actual victims of the crisis, but harder to administer. This stipend will also have to be extended to owners of small and medium-sized businesses.

“Third, the government can render some form of payroll support to companies and businesses that seek to retain workers albeit they may not be fully employed.

“The stipend can help companies stay in operation, while maintaining workers on their payroll. By maintaining workers, the company can more swiftly return to full operation when normalcy returns.”

Tinubu said that the payment of these stipends would require hiring additional government workers, to augment the existing bureaucracies to implement that programme.

According to him, this administrative requirement will help boost employment and aggregate consumer demand.

He disclosed that activating the Trader-Moni and other programmes, would help many small-scale Traders, but not the average wage earner who just lost his job.

On Agriculture, the APC National Leader called for the re-establishment of commodity boards for strategically important crops, to maintain adequate supply of food and ensure price stability.

He revealed that these Boards would specify a guaranteed minimum-maximum price range for these crops, in order to maintain and stabilise farm incomes, as well as consumer prices.

According to Tinubu, the country faces a “trade-off between certain pandemic and possible widespread depravation.

“This situation presents a historic chance to establish more beneficial social contract between government and the governed”, he said.

He also urged the government to expand the school feeding programme to many States consistent with applicable public health measures.

“By expanding this programme, we help feed our most vulnerable children, while creating extra jobs, and bolstering food production and farm incomes”, he noted.

On debt relief, Tinubu called on African Finance Ministers to join a coordinated effort for debt forgiveness, while urging the World Bank and other DFIs, to agree to a wholesale debt rollover, by reducing the interest rate burden of African nations by at least one half.

He also urged the CBN to lower interest rates to single digits, to spur some private sector, and lower the charge on government deficit spending.
