OSUN State government says it has completed the process of opening registers for poor and vulnerable people in 12 out of 30 local government areas of the state.


Mr Femi Ifaturoti of the State Operation Co-ordination Unit for Youth Employment Social Operation (YESSO) said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, on Monday.

Ifaturoti said having a unified register was part of the requirements for the execution of the scheme in states across the country.

“We have re-validated the register in 12 local government areas so far; and as soon as we are ready, beneficiaries will start taking the stipend.”

He said that community-based single register of the poor and vulnerable people was aimed at identify the extreme poor in the state.


The coordinator said that the register would enable the identified people to benefit from social protection intervention of the Federal Government.

“The Federal Government is currently articulating a reform agenda for the social protection sector as a means of ensuring that the present unacceptable levels of poverty are reduced to the barest minimum.


“Driving this reform agenda is the recently established National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO) under the Office of the Vice President.

“The office has the responsibility of coordinating all social safety net initiatives in the country,’’ he said.

Ifaturoti said the World Bank is backing it up with 300 million dollars in the implementing states.
