About 130 millions Nigeria are languishing in poverty, yet the UAS grant meant to uplift them economically are idle in CBN. Urge our government to disburse the grant money to the poor masses, please.

VP Vance in Azerbaijan:
“The president of this country, the PM of Armenia, and, of course, @POTUS, working together, created peace where previously there was war.
And, I think in the future, will create prosperity where once there was only fighting and conflict.”
The UAS grant, meant to reduce crime, hunger, and out-of-school children while uplifting Nigeria’s suffering masses, has remained undisbursed at the CBN, sitting idle. We respectfully appeal for your voice to urge our government to do the needful now.

@RepRileyMoore Poverty breeds crime. An hungry lion is an angry lion. Funds meant to create jobs and ease suffering (UAS) are idle at the CBN. Nigeria needs immediate disbursement.

Poverty fuels crime. An hungry lion is an angry lion. The UAS meant to create jobs, boost the economy, and help poor Nigerians is lying idle at the CBN. Urge immediate disbursement.

I have traveled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
In my discussions, the idea of dividing the country has not come up in any serious way. Efforts to embolden separatists hurts Christians in Nigeria - especially in the North and Middle Belt.
A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent.
I remain committed to working to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ - and for that matter, all Nigerians - suffering from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria.
The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between our great nations.
God bless you all.
We want to be gainfully employed, we want to send our children back to schools
We want to contribute to the economic growth of our fathers' land.
So, stop delaying the UAS meant for the above, CBN #disbursenow
Poverty is a major root of crime, an idle hand is......... The UAS grant has the potential to reduce poverty, crime, and unemployment while stimulating economic growth. We respectfully urge you to direct the CBN to disburse this grant urgently to the hungry and struggling masses.
Today, I met with the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq @RealAARahman, to be debriefed on the incident in Kaiama LGA.
I condemn in the strongest terms this cowardly and beastly attack. The gunmen are heartless for choosing soft targets in their doomed campaign of terror. Their actions offend our humanity, our faith, and our shared values as a nation.
Yesterday, I directed the immediate deployment of an army battalion to Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State following the horrific attack on innocent villagers in Worro. This new military command will spearhead Operation Savannah Shield to checkmate these barbaric terrorists and protect defenceless communities.
It is particularly disturbing that the victims were killed because they rejected an attempt at forced indoctrination. As I said, “It is commendable that the community members, even though Muslims, refused to be conscripted into a weird belief that promoted violence over peace and dialogue.” Nigeria will never surrender its people to extremism and terrorism masquerading as faith.
I have further directed close collaboration between federal and state agencies to provide immediate support and relief to the affected community and to ensure that those responsible for this atrocity are pursued and brought to justice, just like other terrorists before them. They will not go scot-free.
I pray for the repose of the souls of the departed and extend my deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones. I also sympathise with the people and government of Kwara State. The Federal Government stands with you. We will protect our communities, defend our values, and defeat those who seek to divide us through terror.

Dear @PressSec Caroline Leavitt, the UAS grant has remained undisbursed for over a decade despite its potential to reduce hunger, unemployment, and out-of-school children. Millions suffer while funds sit idle. We respectfully urge your voice for urgent disbursement.

Families are struggling nationwide. Children are out of school, small businesses are collapsing, and what was meant to be a lifeline has become a delay. We urge your help in pressing our government to disburse the grant urgently to save the struggling masses.
Republicans are not going to do things to undermine law enforcement officials’ ability to do their jobs.
We need to give ICE, the TSA, the Coast Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other critical agencies the security of a full-year funding bill.
10+ YEARS. NO RELIEF. NIGERIANS STARVING.
We registered, borrowed, sold everything.
Hunger. Debt. Death. The Grant Is Our Right
@NOIweala@AjayBanga@WorldBank@KristalinaGE@IMF@realDonaldTrump
Pressure President Tinubu & CBN Gov Cardoso. Release the overdue grant NOW!
Families are struggling nationwide. Children are out of school, small businesses are collapsing, and what was meant to be a lifeline has become a delay. We urge your help in pressing our government to disburse the grant urgently to save the struggling masses.
Investing in infrastructure, higher agricultural productivity, and facilitating for SMEs are all key to create jobs.
Looking forward to deepening our partnership.
We respectfully urge you to lend your voice to the ongoing grant issue in Nigeria. Funds specifically allocated to stimulate small businesses remain stalled within the Central Bank of Nigeria, while millions of citizens continue to languish in deepening poverty.
Reliable power underpins development, and Nigeria is making important gains in expanding electricity access.
Thank you, @DamilolaSDG7, for being a great partner and for facilitating discussions with Ministers and agencies around #Mission300 to rapidly increase access.
Today, we are calling on the present administration to take decisive action by disbursing the long-awaited grants, lives have been damaged by this prolonged delay— businesses lost, children forced out of school.the suffering of the innocent must not be ignored.
#ReleaseUASGrant
This is a crucial call. Small businesses are struggling, families are hurting, and the economy needs this support urgently. We urge the authorities to do the needful and release the long-overdue grants now.
Dear @SenatorTimScott, grants meant for the poor in Nigeria are delayed. People are starving, children are out of school, and businesses are collapsing. Please lend your voice.
#ReleaseOurGrantNow
