FG restructures NASSCO management team

The federal government has announced restructuring the management team of the National Social Safety Net Coordinating Office (NASSCO) to ensure the effective implementation of the national social investment programme in Nigeria.
Betta Edu, minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation, disclosed this in a statement issued Tuesday by her spokesman Rasheed Zubair.
The minister said the move was in line with President Bola Tinubu’s directive to restructure the Social Safety Net Programme to address the ministry’s expanded mandate, including poverty alleviation.
The minister would chair NASSCO while the humanitarian affairs permanent secretary, Abel Enitan, would serve as secretary.
Others appointed are Abdulaziz Danladi (national coordinator), Micheal Ajuluchukwu (head of the National Cash Transfer Office), Janet Ekpenyong (deputy head of the NCTO), Richard Romanus (National Programme Manager of Youth Empowerment and Social Support Operations), Jamalu Kaburu (National Communication Manager, National Social Investment Programme), Chidinma Makuachukwu (National Programme Manager, Renewed Hope Shelter Programme for Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons) and Thalis Apalowo (National Programme Manager, Grant For Vulnerable Groups).
Others are Salia Sanusi Yusuff (Programme Manager, At Risk Children Programme), Joseph Nkang (Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme), Akindele Egbuwalo (Programme Manager, N-Power Programme, Renewed Hope Skills Acquisition Programme), Etcheri Ansa (National Alternate School Programme, out-of-school children), and Olubunmi Bello (National Project Manager, Community and Social Development Programme).
The minister charged the new appointees to bring their wealth of experience to bear in driving Mr Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda to success.
While assuring the appointees that their appointments were immediate, the minister said there would not be room for excuses or failure in actualising the mandate.
