The Federal Government has secured a $30 million grant from China to support grassroots development across the country.
The agreement was signed in Abuja under China’s “small but beautiful” initiative. The initiative is designed to fund community level projects that directly impact the lives of ordinary citizens.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, said the grant will complement Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Ward Development Plan.
The plan is designed to cover all 8,809 wards across the country, ensuring that development reaches the grassroots level, he added.
