 The Nigeria COVID-19 action recovery and economic stimulus program, which also has the rather propitious acronym of NG cares, is a multi-sectoral program, as we've heard, designed to support vulnerable and poor Nigerians to provide essentially emergency relief to smallholder farmers and SMEs, especially those who are adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program we've already been told will build on the varied and extensive federal government interventions developed as part of Mr President's plan for taking 100 million Nigerians out of poverty and in response to the severe socio-economic fallouts of the pandemic, especially those programs and plans contained in the economic sustainability plan. The essential addition to the federal government's program is that the NG cares program will leverage on existing programs in the States, especially job creation programs, wealth creation, poverty reduction programs at the community level, such as state cash transfer units, state FADAMA or agricultural development agencies, state job creation units, MSME units supported, all of these of course supported by the government, enterprises and empowerment program Jeep. The World Bank loan, as you've heard, is in the order of $7.5 million and this will be over a period of two years, 2021 to 2023. And the intervention allocation to each state is $20 million ex ante and $15 million to the FCT, $15 million also for the federal cares support unit. The program is to drive, is to be driven by the States and they, both the World Bank director and the chairman of Governors Forum, has mentioned that this is a P for our delivery mechanism type, in which case, you know, this, there must be performance shown. The federal government also regards this program as an important complement to its own skilled up number of beneficiaries of social transfer, subsidy and grants to support individuals, households and MSMEs in the multi-year development plan for 2021 to 2024, which was developed within the context of the response to the COVID-19 crisis and the economic sustainability plan and that plan serves as a bridge. In order to ensure this successful program implementation, the federal government will provide quality assurance, monitoring, capacity building and technical assistance to states and the FCT on project activities and results. Consequently, the federal government has inaugurated the federal cares staring committee, the federal cares technical committee and the federal care support unit to provide overall policy direction, technical support to all the states and FCT, and to advise Mr. President appropriately. I certainly look forward to the prompt and effective implementation of the program, both at the federal and state levels. And I also encourage you to fully deploy your wealth of experience and expertise to ensure the successful takeoff and implementation of this program. Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, it is now my very special pleasure and privilege to formally launch the NG cares program and declare the commencement of the program implementation. Thank you very much.
