Social Investment Programme (SIP) is President Muhammadu Buhari’s intervention programme aimed at addressing some of the problems facing Nigeria so as to reduce poverty and hunger.
Social Investment Programme (SIP) has four MAJOR areas:
- N-Power to engage unemployed Nigerian youths. It has already engaged 200,000 Nigerian youths, while another 300, 000 Nigerian graduates will soon be deployed across the country..
- HGSFP means Home-Grown School Feeding Programme.
- CCT that is Conditional Cash Transfer
- GEEP is Government Enterprises Entrepreneurship Programme.
N-power has gulped more money than all other programmes combined.
The Federal Government through the Social Investment Programme (SIP) has spent billions of Naira.
