Dr. Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, has stated in an interview that the federal government is developing a strategy to lift 50 million people out of poverty within the next 42 months.
The Minister emphasized collaborative efforts between ministries and international partners to achieve economic growth, highlighting President Buhari’s commitment to poverty alleviation programs.
The strategy involves inter-sectorial collaboration, including the Ministry of Trade and Industries supporting small businesses with loans.
The government aims to work with international partners and the World Bank to achieve the goal of lifting 50 million people out of poverty.
“We are drawing out a strategy to be able to get 50 million persons out of poverty as within forty two months. Now, that is not just going to be only the job of my ministry to do. There is going to be an inter sectorial collaboration with other ministries, for instance, the ministry of trade and industries. Of course, they have the SMEs and the president has provided some loans for persons doing small little businesses across the nation.
“Government is very intentional. President Bola Tinubu is some who cares about the poor and the vulnerable in the society. He does all within his power to ensure that the pain is taken off from Nigerians.
There are different strategies. We are working with international partners and the World Bank. What is at the back of our mind is that fifty million people would be pulled out of poverty in 42 months,” she said.
