FG’s $1bn poverty reduction scheme
The Federal Government has launched ambitious $1 billion poverty alleviation scheme dubbed Household Prosperity and Empowerment Social Protection Project (HOPE-SP). The scheme will help vulnerable households across the country to achieve sustainable self-reliance. The initiative was unveiled at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, by the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, in collaboration with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs. It shifts emphasis from temporary aid to long-term economic independence. The project looks good on paper.
