According to her, NSIP programme comprises Npower, National Home Grown School Feeding,
Government Enterprise Empowerment Programme, and the National (conditional) Cash Transfer Programme, designed to support citizens facing economic challenges.
“As our programmes unfold around the country, we call on all Nigerians to join us in this effort as the ultimate beneficiaries of the impact of our activities.
“One of the most important aspects of the programme is the millions of Nigerians who have and would benefit directly and indirectly from each of the various schemes.
“All our beneficiaries are being paid directly with their Bank Verification Number; being an integral part of our design.
“Today, we have recorded 7.9 million direct beneficiaries since inception and have a presence in the 36 states of the Federation and Federal Capital Territory,’’ she said

institutions around the country.
