I could remember vice president Yemi Osinbajo said this sometimes in 2019.The National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP) is an initiative of the National Economic Council headed by myself with all the State Governors as members. It is a comprehensive policy plan designed to accelerate the pace and scope of change in Nigeria's agricultural system. https:///RwsQNU4V9c

We need to appreciate the goodwill of our health practitioners in ensuring that the affected people are giving the adequate treatment and see to the end of the deadly virus

My advice to all Nigerians is to continue to comply with COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical measures.

I'm really happy for the people of Anambra state for this great achievement

It should be mandated that CEOs and Heads of some Federal Government regulatory agencies be presented with the outcome of a recent survey that exposes major pitfall.

This is 100% true and it will encourage the investors as well

This is a welcome developments and the vaccine will soon available for all even at the reduced or no cost rate

Federal Government will explore further ways to support the research for the benefit of Nigerians and humanity generally, while also advancing the effective funding of scientific research in the country.

I wondered how could someone called a big and reliable project of Ogoni land clean a scam and deceitful, someone must have been wrong with the writer

We need God intervention

Wow! Osinbajo, a man with good heart ,may God Bless you for that sir

This is a great opportunity for all to participate

I say a big Amen to this in Jesus name

The data indicating what you have done so far shows that it is possible for the government to deliver big programmes, and to deliver them credibly.

The government must find ways of expanding the scope of the scheme, because when you look at the numbers that we have approval for, the numbers are small in comparison to the enormity of the problems that we are faced with.

The government has seen the need to expand the scope and the reach of the benefits of the ongoing implementation of the Survival Fund under the Economic Sustainability Plan following the impact and interest already generated among Nigerians

This is very good idea but we also need the collaboration and active engagement of stakeholders to assist with implementing the NMPAN .

VP SETS UP TECHNICAL TEAM TO FACILITATE 5-YEAR ACTION PLAN ON NUTRITION

*Osinbajo charges National Committee: "We have to solve malnutrition issues."
 

In the Federal Government's resolve to frontally address the problems of hunger and malnutrition in the country, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN has set up an ad-hoc Technical Advisory Group to support the implementation of the 5-year National Multi-Sectoral Plan of Action on Nutrition (NMPAN).


The Vice President constituted the technical advisory group earlier in the week when he called a virtual meeting of the National Committee on Food and Nutrition, a week after the National Council on Nutrition adopted the Plan of Action.


Membership of the advisory group is drawn from the Office of the Vice President, Nigerian Governors Forum, Nutrition Society of Nigeria, Nutrition Partners Forum, Organised Private sector, Academia/ Research, Scaling Up Nutrition Secretariat at the Federal Ministry of Health ( FMOH), Civil Society groups-and the UN-Nutrition.


Noting the mandate and composition of the team, Prof. Osinbajo said on Tuesday that “the technical advisory group will provide high-level strategic advice and support to the Secretariat of the National Council on Nutrition on the National Policy on Food and Nutrition's vision and strategy, thereby facilitating nutrition positioning and comparative advantage to enable maximum impact.“


According to the Vice President, “for the next few months, this group composed of select members of the National Council on Nutrition who are heads of major MDAs and agencies will have the following Mandate:


“To provide technical assistance to the NCN and Secretariat, and facilitate inter and intra-agency coordination, supervision and monitoring, and implementation of the National Multi-sectoral Plan of Action on Nutrition.”


Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo noted that the assignment would be executed by, “developing a synthesised work plan for National Multisectoral Plan of Action on Nutrition; identifying and documenting the roles of each sector and MDA, as well as the relationship(s) between these roles and the achievement of nutrition outcomes, based on the NMPAN.”


He added that the group will “work with the newly constituted National Committee on Food and Nutrition to define and train the secretariat on the capacity needs for the development and implementation of nutrition programs and projects as defined by the NMPAN and; develop a comprehensive advocacy, information and education strategy for the NMPAN”


Stating the significance of the group’s assignment, Prof Osinbajo said “we need more than ever to think holistically if we are to solve the issues of malnutrition, in my opinion we have embarked on a new era, where collaboration and active engagement of stakeholders to assist with implementing the NMPAN is embedded in our agenda and should propel us forward.”


The National Council on Food and Nutrition chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, at its last meeting approved the action plan titled the “National Multi-Sectoral Plan of Action for Food and Nutrition (NMPFAN) 2021-2025” with a target of addressing nutrition and related problems across the country.

THE Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is committing a N200 billion facility for the take-off of Federal Government’s social housing scheme, called Family Homes Funds (FHF), it was learnt on Sunday.

The scheme, which is designed to provide low-budget housing for 300,000 Nigerian families, is part of the Economic Sustainability Plan (ESP), a Federal Government’s COVID-19 response programme, headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity in the Office of the Vice-President, Mr. Laolu Akande, announced this in Abuja in an update he shared with the media.

He said 20 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), had indicated interest in the scheme.

In June 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari approved N2.3 trillion for the ESP, which was a product of the Osinbajo-led Economic Sustainability Committee (ESC).

In the update, Akande said the social housing project would provide jobs for about 1.8 million Nigerians, adding that it would also use the services of established developers and young small-medium scale professional contractors, comprising architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, accountants, among others.

“The Federal Government social housing scheme is one of the planned schemes, under the ESP, targeted at providing 300,000 low-income houses and creating 1.8 million jobs in the process.

“To achieve these goals, the Family Homes Funds has been appointed as the implementing agency for this initiative and it will construct 300,000 housing units across the country.

“To kick-start the social housing projects, the CBN has already committed a N200 billion facility and most of the sites where the housing project will commence have already been identified across various geo-political zones by the Federal Government.

“The early start sites include those in Osun and Ogun in the Southwest; Enugu in the Southeast; Delta, in the Southsouth; Bauchi in the Northeast; Kebbi in the Northwest; Nasarawa and Plateau in the Northcentral; and a number of sites in Abuja.
