Delta Seeks Patience Over Disbursement of N4bn Poverty Fund

The Delta State Government has urged residents to be patient as it prepares to disburse its 4 billion naira poverty alleviation fund. Henry Sakpra, general manager of the Delta State Social Investment Programme, said 15,000 indigent people across the state’s 25 local government areas are expected to benefit. He said transparent procedures would guide beneficiary selection and help prevent the funds from being diverted. The initiative is part of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda and will continue as long as it meets residents’ needs.
