(Buhari broadcast): Our poverty alleviation intervention with Nigerians through the National Social Investment Program is bearing fruit
President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that government intervention in poverty reduction in the country through the National Social Investment Program is paying off.
He said this on his national broadcast to mark the 62nd anniversary of Independence Day on Saturday, adding that there is hardly any neighborhood, village or local government in Nigeria that has not benefited from the program.
The President said: "I am pleased to inform my fellow citizens that in addition to our focus on infrastructure development with its opportunities for job creation, job creation and poverty reduction, our intervention targeted directly at Nigerians through the National Social Investment Program is also yielding benefits.
“There is hardly any ward, village or local government in Nigeria today that has not benefited from one of the following: N-Power, trader-moni, market-moni, subsidized loans, business grants or conditional cash transfers.
"All of the above programs as well as various National Social Investment Program interventions, direct support to victims of floods and other forms of disasters have provided relief to affected Nigerians."
