“The NG-CARES programme, employing the Programme for Result (P for R) approach, marks a pivotal effort to aid vulnerable individuals and businesses affected by economic challenges,” Governor AbdulRazaq stated. He commended the State CARES Steering Committee for their diligent oversight since its inception in December 2021, ensuring effective implementation across the state.
