President Muhammadu Buhari has formally
launched measures being taken by his
administration to reduce the current economic
hardship being faced by Nigerians.
The president on Sunday formally unveiled what
he called “by far the most ambitious social
protection programme” in Nigeria’s history.
There is widespread poverty in the land today
owing largely to certain policies of the federal
government, which, the president said were
“necessary pills” to swallow in order to have a
better future.
Speaking on Sunday in a national broadcast to
mark his one year in office, Mr. Buhari said the
social protection programme would seek to start
the process of lifting many citizens out of poverty,
while at the same time creating the opportunity
for many to fend for themselves.
“In this regard, five hundred billion Naira has
been appropriated in the 2016 budget for social
intervention programmes in five key areas,” he
said.
He also said his administration was committed to
providing job creation opportunities for five
hundred thousand teachers and one hundred
thousand artisans across the nation.
“5.5 million children are to be provided with
nutritious meals through our school feeding
programme to improve learning outcomes, as well
as enrolment and completion rates.
“The conditional cash transfer scheme will provide
financial support for up to one million vulnerable
beneficiaries, and complement the enterprise
programme which will target up to one million
market women; four hundred and sixty thousand
artisans; and two hundred thousand agricultural
workers, nationwide.
“Finally, through the education grant scheme, we
will encourage students studying sciences,
technology, engineering and maths, and lay a
foundation for human capital development for the
next generation,” he said.
