The revision of the National Social Protection Policy is consistent with the national aspirations of lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in the next 10 years. It provides a framework for promoting social justice, equity and inclusive growth. It is a transformative tool for addressing poverty, unemployment, social and economic vulnerabilities, inequality and exclusion and other threats to sustainable development. While population growth will continue to be a determining factor for our economic, social and political progress, this revised Policy will harness available resources into investments in people, our most valuable asset, in order to optimize our human capital potentials.
