Tinubu Unveils 3.05 billion, aimed at accelerating poverty reduction, strengthening community resilience and expanding investments in education, healthcare and social protection across Nigeria. The initiatives form part of the Federal Government’s strategy to translate recent economic reforms into tangible benefits for citizens.
The programmes, unveiled at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, include the Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus Additional Financing (NG-CARES AF), the Solutions for Internally Displaced and Host Communities (SOLID), and three Human Capital Opportunities for Prosperity and Equity (HOPE) initiatives covering governance, primary healthcare and education.
Represented by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, President Tinubu said the interventions reflect his administration’s commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable Nigerians through coordinated investments in livelihoods, healthcare, education and support for displaced communities.
“This is not just a set of programmes; these are promises kept. Today, we act on our pledge by protecting the vulnerable, empowering communities and building the human capital that will carry Nigeria forward.”
According to the President, the NG-CARES AF programme will receive 300 million to improve the welfare of internally displaced persons and their host communities. The $1.5 billion HOPE package will strengthen primary healthcare, foundational education, teacher development and governance reforms nationwide.
Tinubu said the programmes are designed as a unified national strategy to reduce poverty and improve human capital, adding that recent economic reforms have laid the foundation for inclusive growth.
“These five programmes are one coordinated national strategy for poverty reduction, human capital development and community resilience.”
The President urged federal, state and local governments, development partners and implementing agencies to ensure effective implementation, stressing that accountability and efficient delivery would determine the success of the interventions.
