The minister's communication was disseminated through a statement provided to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday, as conveyed by her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Rasheed Olanrewaju.
As per the provided declaration, the Youth Empowerment and Social Support Operations (YESSO) and the Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) Programmes have been assumed by the Federal Government, as evidenced by the commencement of phase two of these initiatives.
According to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the Youth Empowerment and Social Support Operations (YESSO) is a social safety net program aimed at improving the job prospects of economically disadvantaged and vulnerable young individuals.
The program additionally offers focused monetary transfers to individuals who are impoverished, vulnerable, and internally displaced within Nigeria.
The Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) offers funding aimed at facilitating the human capital development of communities and vulnerable groups, thereby empowering them to pursue diverse development initiatives.
The primary areas of concentration encompassed by this initiative are education, health, rural electrification, potable water supply, transportation, socio-economic development, environment and natural resources, as well as community housing.According to the statement, the activities were also endorsed by the World Bank.
The sustainability plans of the World Bank following the completion of Phase One of YESSO and CSDP have been elucidated by President Tinubu in the YESSO and CSDP 2.0 (Phase Two) initiative, which is being implemented through the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
The statement emphasized that the publication of a report by a national daily regarding recent appointments made by the Minister on the programs was deemed unnecessary and inaccurate.
The report inaccurately indicated that the programmes had been totally phased out or terminated, which is not the case.
The conclusion of the initial phase of the program has led to the initiation of the second phase, known as 2.0, which has now been assumed by the federal government. Additionally, the World Bank has pledged additional assistance as part of the sustainability plan.
The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, led by Dr. Edu, has recognized the importance of establishing appropriate frameworks prior to the commencement of the second phase of the program. This is to ensure the effective achievement of objectives and to attract additional development partners. Consequently, recent appointments have been made in order to facilitate these efforts.Currently, both programs are under complete ownership of the Federal Government, operating under the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
The funding for their initiation will be provided by the National Social Safety Net office, as outlined in the sustainability plan of the programs. The implementation of the 2.0 CSDP and Yesso programs was a result of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation's revised strategy to enhance program structure and ensure efficient delivery, in response to its new mandate.
As per the assertion, the integrity of the legal accord between Nigeria and the World Bank remains uncompromised.
Phase two of the programs aligned with the agreement, which is in accordance with the sustainability plans and the subsequent takeover by the Federal Government. As a result, President Tinubu's government is now able to push for their expansion, but it is imperative to establish a proper framework to facilitate this process.
Considering the unwavering commitment of the federal government to address the humanitarian issue and eliminate poverty inside the nation, it is crucial to acknowledge that the initial projects, only backed by the World Bank, are insufficient to alleviate Nigeria from its state of multidimensional poverty.
The initial phase of the program shown remarkable performance and had a significant influence, leading to the approval of the 2.0 phase by the President. Consequently, there is a recognized necessity to establish a structured framework that aligns with the standard standards. According to Olanrewaju,
