Dr Betta Edu, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, has highlighted the Ministry’s plans to construct humanitarian hubs in all 774 local government areas across the country.
According to her, humanitarian hubs are a long-term aim for alleviating poverty in Nigeria since they would house locally generated items that will be supplied at lower prices to Nigerians.
The Minister stated on Radio Link, a Radio Nigeria Network program in Abuja, that staff from the Ministry would be deployed to the 774 local government areas to gather feedback, as well as engage in digital tracking of the palliatives to determine the time, location, household, and individuals to whom they are delivered.
For a transparent and effective disbursement of palliatives, Dr Edu said the ministry would use Independent Monitors to ensure that the relief materials reach those who need them the most.
According to her, the Federal government is committed to curtailing the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria, as prompt response to such crisis will henceforth be on the front burner of its agenda.
The Minister said “Nigerians should be rest assured that all existing empowerments within the National Investment Programme will be rejigged, and made more effective to reach more Nigerians.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has a huge Economic Plans for Nigerians; some are short term goals which the Ministry will soon Implement and some are long term goals, Nigerians should trust the process” she said.
The Minister added that she was working round the clock to address the challenges causing delay in payment of stipends to the beneficiaries of the N-Power scheme.
