An international Civil Society Organisation, ActionAid Nigeria, AAN, Monday, called for legislative framework backing social investment programmes in the country.
This was stated by a consultant to AAN, Dr Abraham Terfa, who presented ‘ActionAid Nigeria Factsheet in Deepening Tax Provisioning for Social Protection of the Poor’, which assessed current social investment programmes initiated by the Buhari-led administration on various areas.
According to Terfa, due to the absence of a legislative framework to back up social investment programmes, current administrations have failed to continue with such programmes that have left more Nigerians poorer and vulnerable because current administrations jettison such impact making programmes and come up with theirs.
