According to Sani-Gwarzo, President Buhari’s administration has already helped many Nigerians escape poverty and is still on track to do so for 100 million more before the end of his term in 2023.
According to him, the Federal Government has focused more on developing solutions to address the plight of the poor and vulnerable in the country since the start of President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration in 2015, when it inherited a National Poverty Incidence level averaging 70% according to the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, despite other economic challenges the administration at the time inherited.
He added that the NSIP was launched in 2015 as a strategy for reducing poverty and that it is now attracting several collaborations, including those with foreign development organisations.
