He also praised the minister for directly engaging with beneficiaries, noting that such interactions would strengthen accountability and enhance service delivery. Earlier, Doro said his visit to Ondo was part of a nationwide review of the programme under the Renewed Hope Agenda. The minister revealed that Ondo State has received about ₦9.9 billion through successive payment cycles covering three tranches of the intervention.

Doro added that the Federal Government is already working on a redesigned social protection framework, emphasising that grassroots engagement is critical to ensuring future interventions reflect the real needs and realities of the people.
