Umar Farouq explained that
GEEP has been restructured for digital compliance to enable trainers to align
with the latest trends in modern technology. This she said is to fulfill
President Muhammadu Buhari’s desire to lift 100 million persons out of poverty.
“Poverty is an issue for our
country and unfortunately, it is very high. We are on the GEEP level. We have
Focal Persons of all the states and the National Orientation Agency also
represented here. We want to have the first crack at trying to register and
document all the beneficiaries in a seamless but transparent process. We must now
learn that this pool of poor Nigerians needs to be properly identified and
documented”.
The minister reiterated that
repayment of the interest free loan at the expiration of its tenure is a
function of efficiency and success.
The Team Lead of GEEP, Zainab
Musawa who presented an overview of the Advance Training on Digitization and
Registration for Programme Managers and Master Trainers stated that the
training will provide a comprehensive framework for the enhancement of the
beneficiaries’ registration processes and implementation of digital
transformation of the programme delivery throughout the GEEP 2.0 lifespan.
“While significant progress
has been made regarding implementation, the Ministry has been stringent in
enhancing a programme design to have a better delivery to the communities in
need. The Ministry has been cognizant of the importance of digital processes
for effective delivery results and as such, is proud to announce the
digitization of the GEEP 2.0 processes and enhanced registration policies in
efforts towards mandate achievement”.
Earlier, the Permanent
Secretary of the Ministry Dr. Nasir Sani-Gwarzo who was represented by the
