The Chief Executive Officer of Global Initiative for Nigeria Development (GIND), Mr. Michael Ale has expressed the organisation’s commitment to monitor the disbursement of the government’s palliatives to poor Nigerians to ensure adherence to principles of transparency and accountability.
Ale said that GIND would deploy its track and trace technology in monitoring and tracking all projects relating to palliatives whenever the Federation Allocation Account Committee began the disbursement of the funds to states and local governments in the country.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Friday, the development expert said that GIND’s resolved to monitor the disbursement “to ensure that the palliatives promised poor Nigerians by the Federal Government to cushion the effect of economic hardship brought by fuel subsidy removal is creditably implemented”.
He said: “Our Track and Trace volunteers and advocates are being recruited nationwide to monitor and report how palliatives are being utilised through T&T technological device. The purpose of this is to ensure transparency and credibility in the disbursement process”.
