Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya says his administration will continue to work in partnership with the Federal Government to deliver to the citizens of the State the benefits inherent in the Social Investment Programmes, NSIP towards mitigating the effects of poverty and other socio-economic challenges.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya stated this when he received the national coordinator of National Social Investment Programme, Dr. Umar Bindir in his office.

The Governor maintained that “synergy is all that is needed between the Federal and State governments in order to fast track the smooth implementation of any programme aimed at impacting on the lives of the people”.

He remarked that being an APC State, Gombe will continue to work in partnership with Federal Government and key into various programmes of the NSIP to deliver to the citizens of the State the benefits therein.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya tasked the team from the National Social Investment Programme to redouble its efforts towards ensuring that the programme achieves the results upon which it was created.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya said with the economic downturn and the consequential effects of covid 19, insurgency and other socio-economic challenges, there is no way the ordinary man can get out of the grip of poverty without initiatives such as the National Social Investment Programmes.

Earlier, the Coordinator of National Social Investment Programmes, Dr. Umar Buba Bindir said since 2016, the programme has been reaching out to the poor and vulnerable Nigerians.

He explained that the NSIP has four flagships to which Gombe State, through the resilience of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, is neck deep into, including N.power, the National Homegrown School Feeding Programme, the Conditional Cash Transfer and the Government Enterprise Empowerment Programme GEEP.

These four flagships of the National Social Investment Programme, as explained by Dr. Bindir, are aimed at institutionalising growth and development of the Nigerian economy for which its citizens will be the ultimate beneficiaries.
