Aisha Buhari Has No Knowledge Of Social Investment Programs - Maryam Uwais

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on social investment, Maryam Uwais, stated that Aisha Buhari has no knowledge of the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programmes (SIP) she claimed had failed in the north.

Recall that we reported that the First lady lamented how poorly the SIP was implemented, despite the huge funds the Federal Government budgeted for it.

However Uwais who replied Aisha Buhari on her viral claim, said that Mrs Buhari has no knowledge of the SIP as she would have been able to find all beneficiaries of the project if she had access to available data. Speaking on Channels TV, she said;

“I believe that if she (Aisha) were to listen to the information they have there, if she were to check our data, she would be able to find all the beneficiaries.

“Yes, she may not have met them. But we are in 12 local government areas for the cash transfer. We are also in 12 LGAs for loans. So, I think we have at least 290,000 beneficiaries directly that we are paying in Adamawa State.”

“We  have over 11,000 graduates recruited and working in her home state. We have non-graduates, 440; we started the school feeding programme in October 2018, we are in 1,054 public primary schools,” she said.
