Those who need to be on the register should be included.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, we are taking this as one of the samples. We are doing both the community targeting and geographical targeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our first sample and we have gone round and we have seen that certain aspects of the Makoko was covered under the national register.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the last area that we came for was not reflected on the national social register and so, we will be coming back to do a targeted capturing of the people in this area,\u201d Edu said.<\/p>\n<p>She also said that the exercise would be carried out across the country to ensure that a National Social Register in Nigeria has integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will work with the governors, we will work with the states, we will work with the local governments and we will work with the community heads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we can be sure that those who are being captured and those we will be making the conditional cash transfers to are those who truly need it devoid of political interference, devoid of social interference and devoid personal interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the minister distributed some food items to the affected residents of the area and conducted a free health outreach on the sidelines of her visit.<\/p>\n<p>Edu also said: \u201cWe won\u2019t just come here empty-handed and we have tried to see that we can send in some food items, some palliative to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe distribution will still continue. They will go house-to-house using the boats and drop the items at their various locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is actually what we need to do to ensure that we target the right persons as we make the move to end poverty in Nigeria and reduce humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also working with the National Population Commission, so we can go all the way to the grassroots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey (the population commission) have individuals in all the 8,200 polling units, wards, communities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we have persons there that will truly verify the register for us, identify the human beings, then tell us areas that have not been captured,\u201d Edu said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exercise will
