The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has said that thousands of lives are being touched with the social investment programme (KWASSIP), which targets the vulnerable and poor.
He spoke on Tuesday when he launched an automated command centre for the social safety net of the administration.
AbdulRazaq said the programme has proven to be impactful for petty traders and vulnerable groups, hailing President Muhammadu Buhari for initiating the safety net programme from which Kwara State had borrowed a leaf and occupying a choice place in national rating and among development agencies.
The governor said every beneficiary of the programme, which is currently the largest social safety net by any state government in the country, has a unique identity which is verifiable.
