Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, on Friday, delivered a keynote address at the launch of the ‘Social Safety Nets Africa Report’ by the World Bank, Igbere TV reports.

In her address, the Minister gave some contextual background on the importance of undertaking a continent-wide approach for social safety-nets, saying that “extreme poverty remains a pervasive phenomenon, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa”.

Ahmed mentioned that in wake to the complexity of these issues, governments in these regions have initiated several programs to “halt the spread of poverty”.

The Minister said that the Nigerian government has established several social intervention programmes such as the ERGP, the NSIP to “give life of dignity to all Nigerians especially the poor”.

According to Minister Ahmed, from the preview of the report “a lot of interventions are occurring in Africa” and some trends worth noting are;

(i) that Social registries are currently used in 23 countries and are being developed in 13 countries;

(ii) there is an emphasis on strengthening coordination among programmes and investing in shared systems to reduce the duplication of efforts and cost inefficiencies is evolving;

(iii) there is also a shift towards greater use of cash in social safety nets;

(iv) there is an increasing number of programmes put emphasis on building the productive capacity and resilience of beneficiary households;

(v) there is increased focus on promoting human capital development; and

(vi) a growth in social safety nets in urban settings. Very interesting for us as a people is that the report highlighted the fact that social safety nets are widely used as short term responses to shocks.

What a dignified lie

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Damn! Buhari whoever taught you the art of deceit and looting with people's support is a wizard, and I am sure its General Sanni Abacha your mentor


Buhari is a very lucky man honestly because if Nigeria were to be a sane country with majority of reasonable citizens, Buhari ought to be serving life jail sentence with hard labor for various offenses ranging from terrorism, inciting tribal-religious genocides, massive looting, lying and deceit of the public and protection and covering of corruption and corrupt people!


What surprises me the most is that Yorubas who claim to be politically enlightened and exposed are backing this failure, history will remember you all!

Una no Dey tire for all this lies ?

Let's call a spade a spade, Nigeria and most Africa countries will still be poor, SMEs that drives economy is practically none existent. We consume more than we produce, Do we even produce? In the absence of these, Are we honestly waiting for an economical miracle to happen like the big bang? CHEAP DEAL on a Lexus down my signature.
