Nigeria - Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, says President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has fulfilled his campaign promises to Nigerians.
Mohammed said this at the Presentation of National Social Investment Programmes (N-SIP) Report Card to mark the 2nd Anniversary of President Buhari’s administration in Abuja on Monday.
He said through N-SIP the Federal Government provided employment to 200,000 unemployed graduates, engaged 57,000 people through Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) and empowered about 26,000 ordinary Nigerians through Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT).
Mohammed said that under the National Home Grown School Feeding Programmme (NHGSFP), government was able to serve about 25 million meals to 1.2 million pupils all over the country in order to make leaning conducive.
His words: “This is a government that promised and delivered on its promises and the unique thing about this particular N-SIP is that it has been achieved in an era when there has been no revenue.
“It would have been very perfect excuse to say that because oil revenue dropped drastically, therefore, we are not able to deliver on our promises.
“But despite the dwindling revenue, we are able to deliver on our campaign promises and then this is not related just to the social investment programmes alone.”
“I am happy that we are here today to prove that this government is not a government of propaganda; this is a real government that is dealing with the real people”, Mohammed said.
He said the programme was designed in such a way that it was easy and accessible to all Nigerians.
“I am happy that many of the beneficiaries have testified to this and this is a new dawn.
“My appeal to all the beneficiaries is to please let them not limit their testimonies to this hall please say it louder and clear at every time to all Nigerians.
“Let Nigerians know how this government has impacted positively on your lives,“ he said.
