and African Development Bank have noted that poverty in
Nigeria is declining. This is good news that challenges us to
do more.
We have put in place several policies to ensure that the
poorest Nigerians are equipped with the means to
overcome poverty.
Through the Millennium Development Initiative, almost a
hundred thousand families nationwide are receiving Social
Security benefits from this administration to the tune of a
lump sum payment of 100,000 Naira and monthly
stipends of 5,000 Naira.
Empowering citizens to create jobs is however the fastest
and most effective way to fight poverty and this
administration has made gains in this regard.
Through initiatives like the Youths with Innovation in
Nigeria (YouWIN), the Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy
(YES) and the Public Works Women and Youth
Empowerment Programme of the SURE-P, we have been
able to help our youths and women create over a hundred
thousand jobs.
Surely and steadily this administration is working with the
Nigerian people to put in place policies and infrastructure
to empower all Nigerians to lift ourselves out of poverty
and the world is noticing which is why Nigeria has
emerged as the Number One destination for Foreign
Direct Investment in Africa. GEJ.
