ANNOUNCEMENT: The Federal Executive Council (FEC) today approved the National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy (NPRGS): A strategy for accelerated reduction in poverty through economic growth, redistributive (i.e. Social Protection) programs and shared prosperity.

#Thread
The NPRGS is anchored on four pillars:

1. Macroeconomic stabilization

2. Industrialization

3. Structural Policies and Institutional Reforms

4. Redistributive Policies and Programmes (Social Protection)
The #NPRGS will support the Buhari Administration’s goal of lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty within a decade.
A National Steering Committee (NSC), chaired by VP @ProfOsinbajo, shall be the overarching body for anchoring collaborative efforts across Federal MDAs, States and Local Govts, Development Partners, CSOs and private sector actors, for the implementation of the #NPRGS
The @FinMinNigeria shall serve as the Secretariat of the Steering Committee, and shall monitor the implementation of the decisions of the Committee. #NPRGS
The #NPRGS was developed by the Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC), chaired by Dr. Doyin Salami.

Other members:

Dr Muhammad Sagagi(Vice Chair)
Prof Ode Ojowu
Dr Shehu Yahaya
Dr Iyabo Masha
Prof Chukwuma Soludo
Mr Bismarck Rewane
Dr Mohammed Adaya Salisu (Secretary)
One highlight of the #NPRGS is a proposal—also APPROVED—for establishment of a Nigeria Investment and Growth Fund #NIGFund, which will invest in commercially viable projects that will promote growth and innovation, enhance local value addition, create employment, promote exports.

We also commemorate the operational successes of our Armed Forces in the fight against terrorism, banditry and all forms of criminality. We owe the progress being made to their unceasing gallantry and sacrifice on behalf of all of us.

“From statewide statistics on affairs in the 27 LGAs since 2011, the fact is that despite recent happenings, the security situation in Borno State &, indeed, that of the entire North East sub-region is still far better under Buhari, & this is based on records.”— @GovBorno
#Thread
“For instance, unlike the years before Buhari when a number of LGAs were no-go-areas, we now have indigenes safely back to Gwoza, Askira-Uba, Dikwa, Ngala, Monguno, Kukawa, Damboa, Konduga, Mafa... which no one could have visited not to talk of living there.” — @GovBorno
“Our Emirs were all in exile. Today, Bama is coming back to life and so is Askira-Uba, Damboa, Gwoza and others. Life is even returning to Baga. This was impossible before Buhari. In fact, it was not possible to move few kilometers out of Maiduguri.” — @GovBorno
