The Federal Government in 2025 committed hundreds of billions of naira to social intervention programmes under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, yet millions of vulnerable households remained unreached.

Despite these allocations, data, beneficiary reports, and expert analysis reveal a persistent gap between funds approved and households actually supported.
