The federal government has disclosed plans to resume the intervention schemes coordinated by the national social investment programme agency .
Speaking during the interview, Idris said the committee set up by Tinubu to review the operational mechanism of the national social investment programme has submitted its report to pave the way for the resumption of the programmes. “It is essential to emphasize that the funds to be saved from the withdrawal of electricity subsidy will be reinvested in enhancing power supply across the country and improving other vital social services such as health and education,” the minister said.
He said the government would soon launch conversion centres across the country to encourage Nigerians to convert their vehicles from fuel to CNG to cut transportation costs.Speaking on the ongoing agricultural programmes, the minister said the federal government has expanded the cultivation of wheat, rice, cassava, and maize on about 500,000 hectares of farmland under its dry season farming initiative.
