Nothing To Show For Buhari’s Investment In SIP/Npower- Ndume: Senator Ndume Ali, Chairman, Senate Committee on Army has vowed the achievements of the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP)
The Senator said the program has nothing on the ground to show for the huge budgetary allocation made by the Federal Government towards its Social Intervention Programme in the 2020 budget.
“Sincerely, President Buhari has done his bit. No government has done this much for the youth. But, the beneficiaries must ask the right question of where the money is with a view to accessing them.”
“The President has signed the 2021 budget into law and it contains a lot for the youths especially and the poor.
“As observed in last year’s N13trn budget, which was the highest level of implementation so far, we cannot see it on ground.
“So, what I’m suggesting or what I am urging the youth to do in particular, is to follow their money and ensure that the budget is not only implemented but that there is evidence on the ground to show that it is actually implemented to the benefit of the people.
“I am saying this because the government had recently announced over N700bn for intervention in various sectors that are supposed to be targeted towards indigent Nigerians and the vulnerable but we are yet to see some of these actions on the ground.”
