“I have never asked how do money is being used or is being given out. I met Barrister once and he promised me that for my state we should get 30,000 women to be given N10,000. Up till now I haven’t heard from him. “ So I don’t know where the social investment. Maybe, It worked out in some states. In my own state, only a local government benefited out of the 22. I didn’t ask what happened and I don’t want to know but for it fail woefully in Kano, it’s not a good sign and it’s not a good thing.
Aisha Buhari went on “It worked out well in a situation whereby they have market associations but I was thinking different methods should be used in the North.”“ I have heard about mosquito nets, Nigeria paid its counterpart fund, $16m. I asked them to give my own share of the net to send it to my village people. I didn’t get it.“They have spent ,$16m on buying mosquito nets, I did not get it, maybe some people have gotten it.
