The Commissioner explained that in 2020 the scope of the NSIP was expanded from 500,000 to 1,000,000 beneficiaries to accommodate more residents, noting that a total of 10,130 beneficiaries have so far been verified and deployed to 3326 active places of Primary Assignment(PPAs).
On his part, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr Olujimi Ige, expressed gratitude to the State Government for driving the mandate to develop humanitarian policies.
He lauded the effective coordination of National and International Humanitarian interventions, the strategic disaster mitigation, preparedness cum response with the formulation and implementation of fair, focused social inclusion and protection programmes by the Federal Government, in conjunction with State Agencies under the supervision of the State Focal Person in Lagos.

The State Director, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr Waheed Ishola, commended the Federal Government for the programme, revealing that the N-Power programme is devoid of political influence, just as he advised the beneficiaries to erase the erroneous perception of N-Power as a “national cake”
