We Will Probe Activities Of Madam Palliative Under Buhari’s Administration — Beta Edu

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, has said that her office will probe the activities of the former Minister of Humani­tarian Affairs, Disaster Manage­ment and Social Development, Hajia Sadiya Umar Farouq.

According to Edu in an inter­view on Wednesday, the ministry will operate on transparency and so it’ll start by reviewing the so­cial register.

She said, “We’ll look at all the programmes that were done by the previous administration. What their achievements and challenges were, how money was spent and we’ll do our best to see that these challenges are over­come as we go into improving and expanding on the social safety net of our country.

“History is important. It’ll help direct, help in­form our decisions for the present and for the future. It’s important for us to look into the books.”

On the social register, she said, “We’ll go back to it and look at it in detail and verify that these people are truly the ones we intend to reach. It’s a new adminis­tration and we don’t un­derestimate the work done by the World Bank and the Office of the National Safe­ty Net.
