Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Daniel Bwala, has claimed that poor Nigerians are the direct beneficiaries of Tinubu’s policies.

Bwala made this remark on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.

According to him, Tinubu’s government has introduced policies that have affected the common man on the street.

“We talk about over 1 million beneficiaries of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND. These are not children of the rich. These are children of the poor who without the intervention may not be able to achieve their dream. That is direct impact on the poor person.

“When we talk about transportation, what the CNG initiative has done, you need to go to the streets and see for yourself. We went to the streets and talked to people and all they are asking is that they need more investments in that field.

“When we talk about healthcare, and we talk about the cesarean section, I was here the other time, and I talked about 50% subsidy on dialysis. These are poor people, because the rich people don’t need that.

“As a matter of fact, most of rich are abroad. So every policy introduced by this government, the direct beneficiaries are the poor,” he said.
