The Federal Ministry of Finance has approved the settlement of payments to more than 1,240 contractors working with various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), prioritizing those under ₦100 million.
In a statement issued on Monday, Mary-Ann Duke, Senior Special Assistant on Communication and Press Secretary to the Minister of Finance, explained that the approvals came after a thorough verification and reconciliation process to confirm outstanding obligations to the contractors.
The exercise places priority on verified claims below ₦100 million, as indicated in the official announcement. This initiative aims to address legacy debts, ease cash flow challenges for businesses, and promote greater transparency in government payments.
@Imranmuhdz This is a commendable step toward clearing legacy debts and rebuilding trust. A thorough verification process combined with a focus on smaller/medium claims ensures transparency and helps the businesses most vulnerable to cash flow bottlenecks.
@B_ELRUFAI Huge congratulations to Ranchers Bees and AA Rano Industries! A massive step forward for innovation, youth development, and economic progress in Northern Nigeria. Here’s to a brighter, value-driven future! 🥂🔥 #GreaterImpact#BrighterFuture
@Tosquo The future belongs to the knowledge economy, and Ekiti State is leading the charge. An $80M @AfDB_Group backing + a historic VP groundbreaking = a game-changer for Nigerian tech, innovation, and youth employment. Huge win for Ekiti! 📈💻✨ #EKZ#NigeriaTech
@ubasanius This is what happens when operational rigor replaces mere political propaganda. Moving Kaduna from fiscal distress to paying off ₦90B in debt without new loans, while simultaneously driving IGR and upgrading healthcare, is a masterclass in governance.

True governance requires long-term structure and consistency, not emotional experimentation. If you back the administration's bold economic and security blueprints, the most responsible civic action you can take is ensuring you are fully registered to validate that choice.
@osazenoo Elections aren't won on timelines or comment sections—they are won at the polling units. If you see the vision, believe in the current trajectory, and want to support the administration's progress, get your PVC ready. The work is ongoing, and consistency is key. 💯
@HMMohammedIdris A safer Nigeria is non-negotiable. It is good to see the administration reiterate this stance, but citizens want to see the #UNITEAGAINSTTERROR strategy translate into the immediate, safe return of the children and teachers still in captivity.
@atiku Highly commendable work by our security forces in Ngoshe! 360 lives restored. While we celebrate this, the ultimate goal remains a security framework built on preemptive actions and technology to prevent these tragedies entirely
