The National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO) has on Friday released the list of the National Social Register of Poor & Vulnerable Households by states.

The Agency which is saddled with the responsibility of building a database of poor & vulnerable households & coordinates Social Protection programs in Nigeria said the “Register is available to be mined for COVID19 response measures targeting the poor & vulnerable.”

However, clarifying the reason why some states like Ogun State and Ekiti State were missing on the list, NASSCO noted the states were yet to be captured and their respective governments are giving the process full support.

“The states yet to be captured like Ogun and Ebonyi are those still in the process of building their register. The govts of both states are giving the process full support,”

According to NASSCO, the National Social Register is “a gateway for registered poor and vulnerable households to access social interventions or welfare packages by the government, philanthropy, NGOs and/or businesses.

“The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development is using the list to reach the extreme poor with cash transfers.

“The cash transfer is currently paying 1 million poor and vulnerable households.”

The Agency also hinted that the Federal Government will be expanding the number of registered households from 2.6 million to 4 million by June 2020.

This stinks. Without no database none of what these thieve are saying would be believed. Furthermore, how can we be sure that the so called "vulnerable people " are not the relatives of the same people who are conducting the exercise.

Majority of the problem that we are facing in this country today can be trace to inadequate database. From election rigging, infrastructural distribution, flexible loan for small and medium enterprises, unrealistic about our population and so on.

Good database will solve some of our problems.

Who dem be?
How dem collate?

I just tire for zoogeria

National cake must be shared by crooks

Hmmmmmm

Inversely, so they knew the poor all this while and did nothing? I bet all my savings that their families' names were written umpteen times on that dark list.

Where will they get the data base.?? I don't know either but I believe they would work with the ones they released regardless of how they got it...
