The National Social Safety-Nets Coordinating office (NASSCO) has re-emphasized the need for the National Social Register (NSR) of the poor and vulnerable households in Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement shared by their communication department on November 12.
The statement reads “The National Social Register is essential because effective social protection begins with knowing who needs support and where they are.
“Without a reliable data, vulnerable households risk being overlooked, resources may be poorly targeted and development planning becomes less effective.“
The statement further emphasized that through NSR, Nigeria is strengthening its ability to identify poor and vulnerable households, improve targeting, guide resource allocation and support more effective social protection.
The statement concluded that with reliable data there will be better targeting, stronger social protection and that no one will be left behind.
