Acting President Yemi Osinbajo said the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programmes have been very successful.
According to Osinbajo, some governors who are not members of the ruling All Progressives Congress have started taking credit for the programmes in their states.
He said this while speaking at a programme organised to showcase the achievements of the SIP at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said, “Most importantly, we have ensured that our programmes are in all states, not just the APC states, so much so that some of the governors in non-APC states even take credit for these Federal Government’s programmes.”
“A country’s economic development is a function of the number living above poverty level.
“Our levels of poverty are so alarming that clearly some fundamental interventions by government are necessary.
He said the reopening of portals for N-Power is scheduled for June 13.
The Acting President also stated under the Social Housing Fund Scheme, anyone earning N30,000 per month would be able to own a house of his or her own under the SIP’s N100bn family home fund.
