The minister, represented by Dr
Umar Bindir, the National Coordinator of the NSIP, said that the monitors were carefully selected across the 21 local government areas of the state.
“The National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) was created by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016 with the mandate of lifting citizens out of poverty through its various interventions.
“So far, about 13 million citizens across the 36 States and the FCT are benefitting from the interventions.
“And today, we are training Independent Monitors that will monitor the interventions programmes at the community level,”
Farouq said.
She noted that their core role was to monitor programme beneficiaries within their locality with the focus of ensuring that the primary objectives were achieved.
