The Federal Government has stepped up plans to build a unified digital payment infrastructure for delivering social benefits to Nigerians.
Bernard M. Doro, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, is also calling for stronger collaboration among government institutions to create a transparent, interoperable and technology-driven Government-to-Person (G2P) payment system.
Speaking at the Stakeholder Engagement and Business Requirements Validation Workshop on the Government-to-Person Solution for Direct Benefits Transfer to Nigerians held at the State House Auditorium, Aso Villa, Doro said digital infrastructure must guarantee timely, secure and accountable payments to vulnerable citizens.
The minister said the proposed G2P platform forms a key component of the Ministry’s One Humanitarian, One Poverty Response System (OHOPRS), a national framework designed to integrate humanitarian assistance, social protection and poverty reduction into a coordinated system.
According to Doro, the platform is intended to improve coordination and interoperability across government agencies rather than replace existing systems.
