By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

The Deputy Spokesman of the House of Representatives, Chief Philip Agbese, has said that the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, is the best choice made by President Bola Tinubu’s administration for the poor.

Agbese who spoke to newsmen on Sunday in Abuja said Edu is the pacesetter in the current government with dynamism, commitment, and dedication to the Renewed Hope Agenda for the poor.

He described the minister as a friend of the poor and downtrodden, who is implementing a well-designed blueprint to better the lives of the common man.

According to the lawmaker, just within 100 days in office, he has lost count of the communities Edu has visited, providing succor to the vulnerable while responding swiftly to emergency, humanitarian, and poverty challenges of citizens.

He said Edu is a new breed of leader who is breaking new grounds and reshaping the landscape with her charisma, resourcefulness, and penchant for excellence.

“Betta Edu is making young Nigerians proud. She is the shining light of the current administration. No surprise. Edu came prepared and knew the tasks at hand.”

“She understands the needs of the common man and designs interventions and programmes to lift millions out of poverty.”

“Some of the schemes include, The Renewed Hope shelter for Refugees, Poor, and IDPs, End Hunger Programme, Grow Nigeria, Code Nigeria, Government Enterprise, and Empowerment Programme and GEEP(rebranded Market Women’s Moni which was flagged off last week by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu).”

“Others are the Conditional Cash Transfer, CCT, which after careful verification and in-person identification is on going, Renewed Hope Community and Social Development Agency 2.0, Youth Empowerment and Social Support Operations YESSO 2.0, Humanitarian Trust Fund, Humanitarian Hub among others.”

He noted that Edu has halted the controversial N-Power scheme, adding that the programme would be expanded to accommodate less privileged Nigerians.
