Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South has called on Nentawe Yilwatda, the newly appointed Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, to leverage financial technology to improve support for Nigeria’s vulnerable populations.

During Yilwatda’s screening, Ndume highlighted the ministry’s importance, overseeing initiatives for the 60% of Nigerians living in poverty, and asked how he planned to address the crisis following the dismissal of his predecessor, Betta Edu, over alleged financial mismanagement.

Yilwatda responded by affirming his commitment to using technology to tackle humanitarian challenges. Senate President Godswill Akpabio then allowed him to take a bow.

Yilwatda, an engineer with significant experience in community development, was appointed by President Bola Tinubu to replace Edu, who denies the allegations leading to her suspension in January. Edu’s predecessor, Sadiya Farouq, had also faced financial scrutiny.
