ll Progressives Congress (APC) has commended
President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for fulfilling the promise the
Party made to Nigerians during the 2015 general election campaigns.
In a statement released by the party’s National
Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the Party notes that with the
commencement of payment of N5000 to one million poor Nigerians through the
Conditional Cash Transfer scheme of the Government, the Buhari’s administration has demonstrated its commitment
to the Party’s Change manifestoes which is couched on true transformation.
“We recalled that as part of its Social
Investment programme (SIP), the government has began implementing three other
major campaign promises of the Party designed to provide jobs and lift the most
vulnerable Nigerians out of poverty. These include: the N-Power Volunteer Corps
which will provide jobs to 500,000 young Nigerian graduates, the National
Homegrown Feeding Programme which has commenced in selected states, and the
Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), which provides soft
loans ranging from N10,000 to 100,000 to artisans, traders, market women, among
others”
The Party acknowledges that the past
year was a tough one for Nigerians occasioned by the economic recession but
have confidence in the ability of President Buhari to design programmes and
policies that will provide succor to the masses.
“We urge Nigerians to continue to
support and pray for the President Buhari-led administration so that our dream
of a more prosperous, secure and stable nation will be achieved” READ MORE
