Struggling schools and clinics getting a massive cash injection? Federal Government teams up with World Bank on the $500m Human Capital Opportunities for Prosperity and Equity–Governance (HOPE-GOV) Programme—rolling out now to fix Nigeria’s education and primary healthcare gaps!
National Coordinator Dr. Assad Hassan briefed Permanent Secretary Dr. Deborah Odoh Tuesday in Abuja: $480m rewards states hitting Disbursement Linked Results (DLRs) in teacher hires, healthcare staffing, better budgeting, audits, and transparency. The extra $20m funds coordination, state verifications, monitoring, and tech support. All 36 states plus FCT are in—subsidiary agreements flying out for signatures!
Approved by FEC Feb 2025, negotiated August, effective September—lightning speed! DLRs get independent checks before cash flows, plugging manpower holes and boosting accountability. Odoh pledged full ministry backing for wins. This people-power play could transform classrooms and clinics nationwide!
