And it has done very, very well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe indication of how well it has done is the fact that state governors are requesting the World Bank, through the federal government, to give additional financing, which has also been approved to the tune of $500 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are moving from state to state on a zonal basis, and we are also interacting with beneficiaries. Many of the beneficiaries are giving us testimonies of how the NG-CARES programme has impacted them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the purpose of this learning event, as has been repeatedly stated, is to share learning experience,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He commended state governments in the country for spending over N150 billion in the programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have far exceeded our target; not just this, we have far exceeded all the targets that were set for us at the beginning. Why? Because state governments themselves are investing their own resources in this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt shows acceptability; it shows that they believe in this structure that we have put in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we need now is more funding from the federal government, more funding from the state government, so that the poor in Nigeria can breathe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Task Team Leader of NG-Cares, World Bank, Dr Lire Ersado, said that the World Bank had expended $750 million in the programme.<\/p>\n<p>Ersado, who was represented by Prof. Foluso Okunmadewa, the former Task Team Lead, World Bank, explained that the project had impacted the lives of many Nigerians.
