She added that government plans to expand its social register to accommodate and capture the IDPs in its various social interventions.

The AFAN chairman said that smallholder farmers contributed much to food production and food security in the country and should be empowered.
The grains included millet, maize and rice.
He noted that the government has approved the payment of arrears of gratuity to retired civil servants from 1996 to 2021 with a cost implementation of N4.3 billion.
