Mr Osinbajo said the government alone cannot cater for the wellbeing of all vulnerable Nigerians.

Represented by his Special Adviser on Social Development, Maryam Uwais, the Vice President spoke at the 20th anniversary of Diamond Development Initiative which was held at the International Conference Centre, Abuja on Tuesday.

He said: “working with development partners, technical assistants have really supported the efforts of the social investment programme. The World Bank, UNICEF, UNDP, and Gates Foundation, have all really been supportive. Ms Uwais commended DDI for its activities, saying the organisation’s efforts showed that social projects can be implemented in small spaces.Speaking on the government’s efforts to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years, Ms Uwais said “this kind of initiative really supports that effort.”

Earlier in his presentation, DDI’s Executive Director, Adamu Garba, said the organisation has executed several projects in 29 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
