The Federal Government said, yesterday, that its greatest priority is
to bail out poor Nigerians from abject poverty by providing social
protection that would lift their standard of living and also diversify
the productive base of the economy to agriculture.
The Federal Government also said that it will strive to reform the
judiciary and education system to fight corruption and curtail impunity
in the system as there would be no mercy for looters of the economy,
just as it justified the reason for granting financial bailout to
states.
Speaking at the 21st Nigerian Economic Summit Group, NESG, tagged
Tough Choices: Achieving Competitiveness, Inclusive Growth and
Sustainability, President Muhammadu Buhari, who was represented by Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo, said: “We want to bail out the poor by
providing social protection.
“Millions of people die on a daily basis as a result of abject
poverty. They are completely alienated from the economy. So, we need
social intervention to improve the lives of these people. This
improvement will come from education, health, feeding, among others.
He spoke about other missions and goals, but this is the one that will change the face of Nigeria.
Well said Sir.
The poor should also benefit from the government.
A war we must fight together. No more poverty!
Change!!!
