Dr. Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, emphasized that the Federal Government is actively developing a plan aimed at lifting 50 million individuals out of poverty within the upcoming 42 months.
She highlighted President Bola Tinubu’s focused approach on various poverty alleviation initiatives to support the less privileged in the nation.
During an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Thursday, she underscored that this endeavor will involve collaboration between her ministry and other relevant ministries, aiming to collectively drive economic progress within the country.
She said, “We are drawing out a strategy to be able to get 50 million persons out of poverty within 42 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 someone 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 50 million people would be pulled out of poverty in 42 months.”
