The National Assembly has dismissed claims made against legislators by the Special Adviser to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , on Social Investment Programme, Maryam Uwais, as baseless

and unfair.

The Presidential aide explained that her statement on the NSIP was to safeguard the “entitlements of the poorest of Nigerian citizens, whose benefits are likely to cease because they are not known or connected to the National Assembly members.” The statement read in part, “The leadership of the National Assembly would not have suggested an enabling legislation for the NSIP if it does not believe in the relevance of the scheme.

Very soon sentiment will take over. Make the original President, ABBA Kyari come back.

Useless people. Even npower_ng have failed to pay stipends to their volunteers. How do you expect them to cope with their families in this terrible time?

When the executive and legislative keep romancing each other, just know it won't augur well for the country

Which yeye National Assembly? The one whose heads couldn't even quote the accurate disbursed figures for the NSIPs till date?

If you think that the National Assembly is fighting for the masses you’re deceiving yourself, they’re fighting for their own share of the National cake. Be wise.

The World will survive this By God’s grace , After this and you need a house,land or properties to buy, rent or lease in ISLAND or MAINLAND Lagos AM YOUR BEST PLUG lockdownextension ikogbonna juliet Ibrahim 13 in Lagos COVID come and be going please, Let’s live

But that's the fact and all what she said was the very truth.

Not suprise people still continue to blow this out of proportion. Nigeria people don't read. Even while on twitter you can do a quick search for & lay hands on house of assembly thread on this matter & also hajia Uwais statement... Before you can chuk mouth for this topic.

If you were bringing 'constructive ideas' like you mentioned in the article, you would have handled it in better way by making proper investigations before going to the public with your half baked info.

Uwais school them like primary pupils, make them go sit down somewhere. Ask question, research, and get facts before coming to say nonsense as a leader.

Let their gathering scatter

They should keep knocking now

Lawmakers tried to manipulate NSIPs' beneficiaries — Buhari's aide – Daily Trust…$500m credit at risk if existing process is violated by politicians The presidency has said that the inability of certain members of the National Assembly to include their candidates to be beneficiaries for the National Social Investment Programmes (NSIPs) is largely why the programme has come under attack by Senate President, Sen. Ahmed Lawan and … It's sad that we major in the minor and minor in the major. The FG should not attack the messenger rather the should focus on the message How was the list compiled ? What was the yardstick used? When was the last time the list was updated? Any database available for all to see? Am not a lawmaker but am yet to receive any palliative Me and 60Million+ Nigerian Youth are waiting If the NASS did not turn themselves to rubber-stamp assembly, this woman couldn't get the gut to ooze out this rubbish. We are all asking for the criteria used for the selection of the beneficiaries. The money you shared in the north was generated from the southern states

National Assembly fires back at Presidency over SIP – Daily TrustThe National Assembly's leadership has faulted the reaction of the presidency to its comments on the Social Investment Programme (SIP). I read the response from the Senate President..nothing like fire back please. Media outfits should sit up..you guys are becoming unreliable. . Funny National Assembly heads that were over-qouting the mobilised funds for the NSIPs so far, calling N2trillion instead of N700billion? I can't take them seriously at this point again DrAhmadLawan, femigbaja it is a disservice to the nation when you had preference for fleet of cars to ventilators. Your next target is to take aware the the citizens cake by controlling the docile Sadiya_farouq by faulting Maryam Uwais the former handler after proof.
