FG RESTATES COMMITMENT TO TAKE MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS OUT OF POVERTY.

The Federal Government says Plans have reached advanced stage to ensure that one hundred million Nigerians are taken out of extreme poverty in the next ten years.

Reassuring Nigerians about the government’s commitment, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Social Investment Programmes, Ismaeel Ahmed, recalled that the President laid the foundation towards realizing this objective in the last four years of his administration.

Ismaeel maintained that the President’s goal would be taken with the utmost regard and consciousness stressing that the Social Investment Programmes had made tremendous impact, the largest social investment ever seen in Nigeria and other West African countries.

The programmes, the presidential aide said, have reached over forty million direct and indirect beneficiaries whose lives are being changed and transformed for the better.
