The World Bank has approved six projects worth about $2.2 billion to support Nigerian human capital and economic development in 2020.
“The World Bank is carefully targeting its support on high impact projects as the country works to tackle corruption and lift 100 million of its people out of poverty,” he added. “These projects focus squarely on delivering better services for Nigerians: ensuring that children are immunized and sleep under mosquito nets, building better roads especially in rural areas, and providing Nigeria’s poorest citizens with a unique identification that will make social safety nets and services more effective,” Shubham Chaudhuri, World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, said.
Others are Innovation Development and Effectiveness in the Acquisition of Skills Project, Sustainable Procurement, Environmental and Social Standards Enhancement Project and Nigeria Digital Identification for Development Project.
