President Bola Tinubu on Thursday unveiled about $3.05bn in World Bank-funded programmes aimed at reducing poverty, strengthening healthcare and education, and improving the livelihoods of vulnerable Nigerians, saying the gains of his administration’s economic reforms must be felt by every household.
Tinubu, represented by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, launched the Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus Additional Financing programme, the Solutions for Internally Displaced and Host Communities programme and the Human Capital Opportunities for Prosperity and Equity programme at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President said the interventions marked a new phase in the implementation of his Renewed Hope Agenda by complementing macroeconomic reforms with targeted investments in social protection and human capital development.
He said, “Positive results are emerging from our reforms. Robust growth is returning.
Confidence is rising. But that progress must be felt in every household, not just in national statistics.”
