The programme, which was articulated in the government’s strategic implementation plan that preceded the 2016 “budget of change,” was part of the government’s three-pronged approach to governance of fighting corruption, addressing insecurity and growing the economy. In this regard, the social investment programme commenced in 2016 with an annual budget allocation of N500 billion which has been sustained since then for the past four years cumulating to about N2 trillion since 2016.
The challenges in addressing these poverty-related issues were enormous but hopes have been high that with a successful implementation, no one will be left behind in the delivery of the dividends of governance to the society.
This represented a serious indictment of the implementation of the social investment programme. She had wondered how the whopping N500 billion budgeted for the programme was disbursed, particularly in the North and ended up saying that “it’s not a good sign and it’s not a good thing.” She had also criticised the $16 million counterpart fund on procurement of mosquito nets and wondered who the beneficiaries of the nets were and what really was going on.
The advent of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has raised increasing interest in the functioning of the social investment programme and some of the new and damaging criticisms have come from the leadership of the National Assembly. This latest public criticism by the National Assembly that the social investment programme has failed is another serious indictment on the current administration.
