Senate To Return Social Investment Programme To Presidency

The Senate leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele initiated the bill at the plenary yesterday, seeking to amend the National Social Investment Programme Agency Act, 2023.

He further explained its significance to poverty alleviation and social inclusion, saying the plan to amend NSIPA Act, 2023 “is to ensure that the social investment programmes are standard, transparent, effective and accountable.” Bamidele explained that with this amendment a wide range of sustainable development goals including poverty reduction, education, health, social inclusion and empowerment could be achieved through the NSIPA.

He further explained that the National Assembly “should be to be part of the process, but that was not done. The support was sent to each state of the federation. All senators were onlookers, which is unacceptable.” He said the previous government had initiatives like TraderMoni and COVID palliatives without parliamentary approval and that recommendations should be made at the committee level.
