The state SURE-P chairman, Timothy Gandu, made this known when he addressed newsmen at the commencement of the screening exercise of the programme in Zaria.

Gandu, who is also the commissioner for economic planning, explained that the amount covered purchase of buses, taxis and tricycles which were meant for onward distribution to beneficiaries.
