 As part of efforts to cushion negative impacts of fuel subsidy removal on citizens, the Kaduna State Government has signed an executive order on financial inclusion for 1 million poor and vulnerable persons across the 23 local government areas in the state. At the signing of executive order on financial inclusion at Sa'a Qashim Ibrahim House in Kaduna, Governor Ubassani says the concern raised by nothing governors is that 75 percent rural population are excluded in the financial inclusion in Nigeria. He added that the aim is to address financial exclusion of about 2.1 million poor on the served citizens in the rural areas to ensure maximum benefit from the state and federal government's social intervention programs. Financial inclusion virtually in most part of the country, most of us in the north-west and some part of northern Nigeria have raised more concern on the issue. About 75 percent of the rural population, particularly in the north-west, are financially excluded in our own country. And if you have listened carefully to the position of some of us after the next meeting, we came out clearly and insisted. Any attempt to transport money to people that are vulnerable in our own society at this critical time would mean at least disenfranchising some people who certainly are supposed to be captured and we have no doubt in our minds that are actually the people that are supposed to be targeted. I have decided that I'm going to work closely with some critical stakeholders, financial technology companies, fintechs, banks to ensure that the vulnerable people in our own society in the rural areas are captured and we ensure that we open account for them in the next one year, at least one million people.
