WEEK 11 — IMUSE IRETI OTUN
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S SOCIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAMMES: SGN RADIO PROGRAMME EXAMINES IMPACT AND BENEFITSBENEFITS
The Sunshine Grassroots Network (SGN) has successfully hosted the 11th edition of its weekly radio programme, Ìmúṣẹ Ìrètí Ọ̀tun, on Adaba 88.9 FM, with an insightful discussion on the Federal Government’s Social Intervention Programmes under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The programme, which aired today, Monday, November 9, 2026, featured Oluwagbenga Ajongbolo, Founder of Open Sunshine and a Public Policy and Development Expert, who provided valuable insights into the various government interventions aimed at improving the welfare of Nigerians, empowering vulnerable households and creating opportunities for young people.
During the programme, discussions centred on three major areas of government intervention: direct financial support for vulnerable households, verification processes and protection against fraudulent activities, as well as youth and student empowerment initiatives.
The guest explained the roles of the N50,000 NERSI emergency grant and the N25,000 monthly Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), highlighting their importance in providing financial relief and supporting vulnerable households.
He also addressed the importance of proper verification, educating listeners on how to access relevant interventions through approved channels while warning against fraudsters and individuals demanding money or confidential banking details from prospective beneficiaries.
On youth development, the discussion examined the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and the National Youth Investment Fund (NYIF), highlighting their roles in expanding access to higher education, supporting entrepreneurship and creating opportunities for young Nigerians.
The programme provided listeners with an opportunity to gain a better understanding of these interventions, their objectives and the importance of accessing accurate information about available government support schemes.
The engaging and enlightening conversation reinforced the need for sustained public awareness to ensure that the benefits of government policies and programmes reach the intended beneficiaries, particularly at the grassroots.
Speaking through the programme, SGN continues to demonstrate its commitment to public enlightenment, community engagement and promoting awareness of people-oriented government initiatives.
Ìmúṣẹ Ìrètí Ọ̀tun is an initiative of the Sunshine Grassroots Network (SGN), powered by Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (BTO), Honourable Minister of Interior.
