BREAKING: House of Reps Members Donate ₦705 Million to President Tinubu for Vulnerable Nigerians

In a significant humanitarian gesture, members of Nigeria’s House of Representatives have collectively donated ₦705 million to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as financial aid targeted at assisting vulnerable Nigerians. The donation, announced on March 17, 2025, underscores the lawmakers’ commitment to alleviating the economic struggles faced by many citizens amid rising inflation and hardship.

According to sources within the National Assembly, the funds are expected to be channeled towards social welfare programs aimed at providing relief to struggling families, widows, and other disadvantaged groups across the country. The initiative follows growing calls for government intervention to mitigate the rising cost of living and economic challenges confronting millions of Nigerians.

While the gesture has been praised by supporters as a much-needed intervention, critics argue that sustainable policies and structural reforms are necessary to address the root causes of poverty rather than temporary financial aid. The administration is yet to release a detailed breakdown of how the funds will be disbursed.
