- She expressed her commitment to collaborating with the Minister to diligently pursue the realization of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda
Mrs. Chioma Nweze, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement, South East, has affirmed a comprehensive involvement of the South-East region in the current validation of the National Social Register for distributing conditional cash transfers to 25 million impoverished families nationwide.
In a statement released after a meeting with the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, Nweze assured that the ongoing verification process would encompass identifying disadvantaged households in the South-East zone.
She expressed her commitment to collaborating with the Minister to diligently pursue the realization of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The statement reads in part: “The ongoing verification, which was flagged off last week by the ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, seeks to purge the National social register of ‘ghost beneficiaries’ by ensuring that genuine, poor, needy and vulnerable Nigerian families will be the real beneficiaries of the conditional cash transfer.”
She, however, called on State governments, LGAs, traditional rulers, community heads, women and youth leaders in the South-East zone to own the ongoing verification by ensuring that only the deserving poor and needy families were verified.
