The Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Sen.
Abubakar Bagudu said all government agencies,
particularly the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, will
be mobilised to develop poverty reduction programmes that can attract private
money and investment.
Bagudu spoke during the Humanitarian Roundtable,
organised by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction in
Abuja.
The minister informed the participants that lifting
the populace out of poverty was a cardinal programme of President Bola Tinubu,
noting that the administration would continue to work.
He said that the administration would continue to work
with development partners and other stakeholders to ensure a massive reduction
of people below the poverty line in the country.
“We are determined to support our hardworking people
in participating meaningfully in the local economy to generate profitable and
efficient activities that can give them the income they need to escape poverty.
That is a model of humanitarian and poverty reduction that we are seeking to
achieve,” he said.
