President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the expansion of the National Social Investment Programmes (NSIPs) to accommodate more primary school pupils, including children in non-conventional educational settings.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, disclosed this on Monday during the 4th annual review of the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) in Abuja.
The minister said the ministry has restructured the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programmes (GEEP) program and other NSIPs to align them with its mandate of providing fair, focused social inclusion programmes to the vulnerable in Nigeria.
She said the N-Power programme will create jobs for a total of one million beneficiaries, while the GEEP will provide loans to an additional one million traders, farmers and market people.
