The National Economic Council presided over by Vice President Kashim Shettima, has dumped the national social register under Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for lack of credibility.
The council, instead, proposed the implementation of a cash transfer programme for states based on their social registers and a cash reward policy for public servants for six months. The decision was part of the outcome of the over five hours meeting by members of the council at the state house on Thursday.
