HUMANITARIAN SERVICE: Hon. Yazid Inuwa MK applauds Dr. Betta Edu's Unprecedented Inclusion of Veterans, Families of Fallen Heroes into the Social Investment Programmes

For the past eight years of the Social Investment Programmes (SIP), under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation; war veterans, vulnerable ex-service men, widows and dependants of fallen heros were not properly captured; until now, under the incumbent minister, Dr. Betta Edu,. 

In an unprecedented trajectory, the minister officially announced the approval for their inclusion into the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), and all Socials Investment platforms. Dr Betta Edu disclosed this during an official visit to the Ministry of Defence Headquarters, Tuesday, in Abuja.

Edu said the federal government has expanded the welfare scheme to accommodate ex-service men, their widows and dependants in fulfilment of the Renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu promise to Nigerians. 
The Minister said the new innovation became necessary to include those who paid the Supreme price for sustaining peace in the country and their dependants to serve as a morale booster for those currently securing the country. 

She sought for the accurate data of the affected ex- servicemen and their dependants to enable them to be captured in the ongoing national social register verification. ''This scheme is in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu renewed hope agenda and I am here to inform you that the programe has been expanded to accommodate retired personnel of Ministry of Defence mostly families of those who lost their lives in the course of defending the country. "Their wives can use this to startup small businesses that will help their children stay in school and provide basic health care and even sustain the families. Of course, your Excellency, this gesture is not only for the 75,000 and their household, she added.

The Minister said the federal government has created Government Enterprise Empowerment Programe (GEEP) which is geared towards helping Small Scale businesses and boosting the welfare of Nigeria market women and farmers which the ex- service men and widows can key into. 

The Chairman of Nigeria Legion, Major General Abdulmalik Jubril (RTD), thanked President Bola Tinubu and Dr Edu,for the new innovation, saying "this has never happened before". He said Nigeria Legion is the last hope for retired officers which he said keep increasing in numbers. The legion he said will need health care, welfare and livelihood for its members '"This organ of the Military(Army, Airforce and Navy) retirees needs government support, such gesture like this has not been given to us before including wives and families of the fallen heros'' .
