The Federal Government has launched a new plan to lift 50 million Nigerians out of poverty by 2030. Officials say the programme will change how the country tackles poverty.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr. Bernard Doro, introduced the plan at a workshop in Abuja.
The programme is called the One Humanitarian-One Poverty Response System (OHOPRS). It aims to bring all poverty efforts under one system.
Dr. Doro said many Nigerians face different forms of poverty. He explained that past programmes failed because agencies did not work together. Many efforts also overlapped and missed the people who needed help most.
The new system will connect humanitarian aid, social support, and development plans. It will use one database to track beneficiaries.
Officials say this will reduce waste and improve transparency. It will also help the government measure progress better.
The government wants to move people from poverty to self-reliance. The programme focuses on giving citizens a clear path to improve their lives.
The plan supports President Bola Tinubu’s goal to reduce poverty across Nigeria.
The Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs, Dr. Tanko Sununu, said the programme will improve teamwork across sectors.
Development partners and donor agencies have also promised to support the plan.
Officials believe this system will deliver better results. They say it marks a shift from past methods to a more organised and effective approach.
The government hopes the plan will create lasting change and help millions escape poverty by 2030.
