The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Social Welfare Programme, Maryam Uwais said this on Tuesday in Abuja during a joint oversight visit by Senate and House Committees on Poverty Alleviation.
“So far we have over 11.5 million direct beneficiaries on all our programmes. We also have about nine million indirect beneficiaries. “We are feeding over 9.5 million children in about 56,000 schools around the country. The value chain in the school feeding programme is just amazing. Uwais said that through the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme the federal government was providing financial support to businesses at the bottom of the financial pyramid.“Tradermoni was created specifically for petty traders and artisans across Nigeria.
“We don’t get our full funding. Only about 25 per cent of our funds have been released, so we have to find ways and means to be cost effective about our spending,’’ she said.
