“As a private sector organization, we are tools responsible for the actualization of this dream. We are to provide a one-stop-shop for all the National Social Investment programmes as a veritable tool to ensure that we reach the poorest of the poor in the society.
“We will provide an institutional framework within the ministry to ensure that Nigerians are the key beneficiaries at the end”.
NASIMS serves as a management platform that coordinates all Social Investment Programmes (SIPs) under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.
