 There is no denying the fact that Nigeria has struggled with debilitating levels of poverty for several decades in spite of our huge potential and huge earnings, especially for moral. Indeed, the last results of the poverty studies undertaken by the Bureau of Statistics in 2012 and 12 million Nigerians were living in extreme poverty. When we came into office in 2015, three things were clear. One, that we needed to move very quickly and ambitiously to respond to issues of poverty, malnutrition, disease and illiteracy. The second was that there would be no quick fixes or miracle care. It would be a long and painful journey out of the status quo. I would need to be patient and consistent in the implementation of all our interventions. Three, just as we are reaping presently the consequences of neglect and sometimes poor decisions that have been taken in the past, we can change the consequences that await us in the future by changing the decisions that we take now in the present and by ensuring that we make the right decisions and stick to them. These realizations have guided us over the last three years, even as we've developed a vision for a Nigeria that is healthy, educated and positioned to fully unleash its development potential. This is what informed the creation and implementation of our social investment program, which is now the largest of its type in Africa, a multi-faceted intervention simultaneously targeting poverty, hunger, unemployment, financial exclusion and the absence of skills needed for our large youth population to thrive in the 21st century. Every country that has taken significant numbers of its population out of poverty at least in the last three decades or so, have had to put in place a robust social investment policy such as we have at the moment, and this includes India, Brazil, etc. India which had the largest number of poor people in absolute terms did exactly what we are doing today, micro-credit for the bottom of the wrong on the commercial value chain, government jobs program, composite government jobs program, school feeding, conditional cash transfers or just simple cash transfers. All of these are the steps that other nations of the world that are committed to taking their people out of poverty have done, aside from several other steps that have taken. But since that March meeting, the social investment program has seen a significant expansion. We have added more than 2 million children to our school feeding program. We now have an excess of 9 million school children being fed every day across 26 days. N-Power, a job scheme for unemployed graduates and non-graduates, has more than doubled since then. We now have 500,000 beneficiaries of the N-Power program all across the country in every single local government. And our trader-money micro-credit scheme, or petty-trader excluded from formal lending opportunities, has now benefited well over a million petty-traders. Market money, which started earlier but which obviously didn't receive as much publicity, has also taken almost 400,000 to 500,000 beneficiaries. I'm not exactly certain of the N-Power now as of today. In terms of health care, we've also recorded some land bank achievements, the setting up of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund, with seed funding of 1% of our Consolidated Revenue Fund as outlined in the National Health Act. I'm pleased to say that Nigeria for the first time is complying with the stipulations of the Act since it was signed into law in 2014. The vision to accelerate human capital development by 2030 has, as you've already heard, and if you look in particular at page 18 of the document that we have, it's all set out there. All what we have listed there are the efforts and basically efforts and inputs, and some of what I've just referred to now are basically the efforts and inputs that we've made. Ultimately, it is the outcomes that are important. We must be able to show that all of what we are doing and investing is producing tangible results in the quality of life of our citizens. The end goal is a country where it is not a miracle for infants to live beyond the age of five, where children are in no danger of malnutrition and where every child is guaranteed access to basic education and where a basic minimum package of health care benefits is guaranteed to every citizen and no one is shot out on account of the fact that they cannot afford it. Nigerians everywhere deserve to live healthy, educated and productive lives regardless of where in Nigeria they live or whatever other peculiarities they may have. By the shared nature of our constitutional arrangements, the federal government must work with state governments and state governments must work with each other. The only way to succeed is by recognizing that this is a joint and several responsibility. This is not and should never be a platform for blame games or pop passing. In the past this has not worked and will not work now. Nothing short of concerted collaboration is required from all of us across all tiers of government and with the partnership and support of the private sector, traditional and religious leaders, community leaders and the international community. There is much learning to be shared and exchanged to ensure that we are not repeating the mistakes that have already been made and to ensure that we are collecting and that we are advocating resources maximally and in efficient ways. Very importantly, there is a work of communication, of carrying Nigerians along, of carrying our citizens along, of making the vision clear and repeating it as often as possible and making it simple, easy to understand and transparently showing how the resources which belong to them are being deployed to work for their benefit. We must never underestimate the importance of communicating and ensuring that we get the best buying from the citizens on behalf of whom we are holding public office. Last but not the least is the importance of collecting incredible data to support our programs and policies and to accurately measure their impact. What cannot be measured is always said cannot be managed. The wisdom of these words should always stay with us. We must find ways of improving also the quality of the data that we collect and the timeliness and we must of course resist the temptation to play politics with these statistics or the overly defensive when they don't cast us in very good light. The lesson is to listen to what the data is telling us and to vigorously look for ways to respond with policy interventions. I have no doubt at all that we are on the right path but we must stick to this path. We cannot afford anything that will slow us down or take us away from these commitments that we started to implement. We owe it to all of our people, young and old, male and female especially the poorest and most vulnerable amongst us to improve the quality of their lives and the quality of health care and education and the jobs that are accessible to them. I must commend your excellencies for the patriotic cooperation across party lines in resolving many of our nation's problems. I recall the summits of the National Economic Council on security, the summits of education and now on human capital development. All of these contributions that we've made and all of the time and resources that we've spent have been done with complete patriotism and this in my view is the way that we should go. We've crushed the division, we have made the commitments and we pledge our support. Now it's time to get the job done.
