The Senate has launched an investigation into the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programme with a view to identifying the beneficiaries and the procedure adopted in selecting them.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Special Duties, Senator Yusuf Yusuf, disclosed this in an interview in Abuja on Monday.
“The proposed bill will produce a fair, constructive, clear, transparently accountable register of beneficiaries. The bill will definitely improve the SIP.” “The register was as a result of world bank indicating that they can use citizens of the various communities. I have done my own investigation too and I’m still doing it.
“There are certain lapses which we need to correct as time goes on. COVID-19 has brought us in into a new reality altogether, it is like a war. When you are at war front, you have to look out to handle it.
