President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Retired) said on Saturday that in his quest to develop the country's economy, he facilitated the National Social Investment Program which has provided N-Power, TraderMoni, MarketMoni and other soft loans to alleviate poverty and create job opportunities among Nigerians.

Buhari said so in what would be his last Independence Day speech to the country on October 1, 2022.

According to him, "The Federal Government is already expanding port operations to ensure that they provide growth opportunities for the Nigerian economy.

"We also continued to accelerate our infrastructure development through sustainable and transparent borrowing, improving capital inflows and increasing revenue generation by broadening the base taxation and prudently managing the proceeds of investments in the Sovereign Wealth Fund.

The president also noted that no village in the country has been left behind in the regime's social investment programs such as N-Power, trader-moni, market moni, etc.

"I am happy to inform my fellow citizens that in addition to our focus on infrastructure development with its opportunities for job creation, job generation and reduction of poverty, our intervention targeted directly at Nigerians through the National Social Investment Program is also delivering benefits.

"All the above-mentioned 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," said Buhari.
