Kwara State government has praised the foresight of President Muhammadu Buhari in establishing the National Social Investment  Programmes (N- SIP), noting that the scheme has bailed  thousands of youths and women out of poverty in the state.

The special adviser on strategy to the state governor, Alhaji Saadu Salahu gave the commendation in Ilorin, the state capital, on Tuesday, while receiving a delegation from the N- SIP’s headquarters in Abuja.

The delegation was in Kwara to monitor the implementation of the N- SIP programmes and get feedback from the beneficiaries.

The NSIP focal person in Kwara State, Dr Rabiat Shehu-Jimoh led the team to the governor’s office in Ilorin.

Salahu, who was flanked by a close ally of the governor, Dr Mohammed Ghali Alaaya, said Nigerians would forever remain grateful to President Buhari for floating N- SIP because of the programme’s impact on the lives of the beneficiaries.

The special adviser noted with delight that the administration of Governor AbdulRazaq has not only keyed into the scheme but remains the first state in the country to back the social investment programmes with a legislation.

Salahu added: “ We thank president Muhammadu Buhari  for conceiving  N-SIP. The scheme  has reduced poverty and youth unemployment. Its impact on the youths and women  is unquantifiable. We commend Mr. president  for not only conceiving the project but for ensuring a  thorough implementation.

 

“Back home in Kwara here, the past administration  did not pay attention to N-SIP,  but Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq keyed into it immediately on assumption of office .  It’s on record that Kwara is the first state to have passed a law that legalises NSIP programmes through KWASSIP. Thousands of youths have been empowered by the state  government through KWASSIP. Women and  youths have benefitted tremendously from the programme. This is why the governor appointed a woman as N- SIP Focal Person for the state.

 

“Most of the  political appointees in the state  are women and youths. About 94,000 pupils are benefitting from the school feeding programme daily, preparing them for brilliancy in their education pursuit.”

 

Salahu hailed the governor for being a role model and for giving the programme a legal backing, expressing optimism that the president- elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who he described as lover of the masses will ensure continuity of the programme when he assumes office.

 

Earlier, the leader of the N- SIP team from Abuja, Mrs Bilikisu Dauda-Damisa, special assistant, Monitoring and Evaluation to the minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, had said that they were in Kwara State to  monitor and evaluate the implementation and impact of N- SIP programmes in core areas of Npower, school feeding and conditional cash transfer schemes.
