Federal Government Approves Outstanding Payments for National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) Beneficiaries

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the approval of all outstanding payments for independent monitors and other beneficiaries of the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP). The disclosure was made by Hajia Sadiya Umaru Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, during the flag-off workshop for independent monitors of the NSIP.

The workshop, which welcomed all beneficiaries, aims to enhance future program design and implementation. The NSIP is the Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s primary poverty reduction initiative, consisting of four programs that address various societal challenges. These programs include the NPower Job Creation Programme, Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), Conditional Cash Transfer Programme (CCT), and the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme.

To ensure the successful implementation and maximum impact of the NSIP, the Ministry has developed a robust Monitoring and Evaluation system. This system operates at three levels: local government, state, and federal. At the local government level, 7,500 independent monitors have been enlisted across 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). These monitors collect and submit routine data from the 774 local government areas.

Previously, in March 2023, the Federal Government had authorized the engagement of four agencies to train 50,000 non-graduate N-Power beneficiaries over a period of nine months.

She expressed satisfaction with the progress made so far and stated that the third batch of beneficiaries would commence training soon.

Furthermore, the council approved a policy on the national homegrown school feeding program, which has played a significant role in reducing the number of out-of-school children nationwide. The program, part of the national social investment program, addresses education, health, social protection, and agriculture, while encouraging school enrollment and providing socio-economic relief to vulnerable households.

Minister Farouk highlighted the importance of the policy as a guiding document to enhance program delivery. She expressed optimism that, by 2030, the out-of-school population in Nigeria would be substantially reduced, ensuring that all children have access to education.

The Federal Government’s allocation of N19.24bn towards N-Power training and infrastructure development underscores its commitment to fostering human capital development, improving transportation facilities, and advancing the energy sector. These initiatives will undoubtedly contribute to the overall growth and progress of Nigeria’s economy.
