Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said that the government is determined to fulfill its promise to pay N5000 monthly to vulnerable Nigerians.

Mohammed made the comment on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, during a meeting with representatives of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Abuja.

"This Government will not give excuses. The painstaking and methodical approach by the Buhari Administration, its deep analysis and understanding of the challenges and the recent inauguration of the cabinet will herald a new dawn," he said.

"Nigerians will witness measurable and impactful progress in all spheres of governance. We shall not abandon our social intervention policies such as one meal a day for school children and the payment of 5,000 Naira each to vulnerable Nigerians. We are committed to lifting millions of Nigerians out of poverty,"Mohammed added.

The N5000 is expected to be paid by the government in line with a promise made by the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) during its presidential campaign.
