    The National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO) has entered into a strategic partnership with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to strengthen healthcare coverage and financial risk protection for vulnerables in the Niger Delta Region. 

    The collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), will leverage the National Social Register to provide access to essential health and social services for one million people across the nine NDDC states.
    NASSCO’s National Coordinator, Ms. Funmi Olotu, emphasized the importance of the initiative, saying: “This collaboration aligns with NASSCO’s mandate to ensure that vulnerable households receive much-needed support and services. It also ties into President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda of eradicating poverty and providing for the most disadvantaged across the country.”

    Through the partnership, NASSCO will work alongside the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to identify poor households in rural communities, register them into the National Social Register, and connect them with critical healthcare, education, and other services.
    The initiative , she said, supports key national programs, including the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the National Health Sector Renewal Investment Program (NHSRIP), which seeks to expand healthcare access across the country.
    Mr. Ben Nkechika, an NDDC consultant, said: “This initiative will make a significant impact by ensuring that healthcare and other essential services reach the most vulnerable populations in the Niger Delta, directly improving their quality of life.”
