Speaking with State House correspondents after the meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, governor Sule spoke alongside the ministers of Budget and National Planning, Clem Agba and Agriculture Mohammed Abubakar said it’s a national issue and not state.

The meeting of the Steering Committee on National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy, the was inaugurated by President Buhari in June 2021.

He said, “in July 2022, we did the same steering committee being chaired by the Vice President sat down and reviewed a presentation by the Technical Working Group, which is chaired by the Minister of state budget and planning, as well as myself as the co-chair.

“So, we presented the approval of the 400 billion naira and the distribution of how it will be spent. So today we just came to review the implementation, and the update of the spending so far and also approval for this year spending for the same committee. So that’s really what just happened.

On what is the how much have been disbursed and the level of implementation now being that the administration is winding down, the co-chairman said, it’s not a governor thing but a national project where Mr. President, based on the advice, recommendation of the Presidential Economic Advisory Committee and the office of the SGF make a recommendation for this particular committee to reform.

“So, it’s a national thing is not for any particular state. Now, based on that, and the recommendation that was made, and for what we received from the chairman of the Technical Working Group, over 50 billion has been spent so far.

“So, the performance so far is low is not yet where we expect to go but nearly every aspect of the 15 areas where the spending will be carried out.

“The Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Finance and National Planning as well, so every one of them has some kind of implementation, one after another.”
