The Federal Government has emphasized the importance of full support from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory in implementing the Nigeria COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus program.
According to Daily Trust, the National Coordinator of the NG-CARES Programme, Dr. Abdulkarim Obaje, underscored this message during a courtesy visit to the Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Agbu Kefas.
He explained that the NG-CARES program operates under a Performance for Results model, where states and the FCT are reimbursed for funding developments based on agreed-upon protocols.
Obaje further elaborated that reimbursement is contingent upon achieving predetermined results, which translates into a significant financial return for the sub-national entities involved.
“The NG-CARES is a Performance for Results (PforR) Programme where States and FCT get reimbursed for funding developments according to agreed protocols.
“The reimbursement is based on earned results which translates into a corresponding amount much higher than what the sub-national invested,” he said.
In response, Governor Kefas pledged his administration’s unwavering support for the implementation of the NG-CARES program in Taraba State.
He urged the state’s implementing departments and agencies to diligently adhere to the program’s guidelines and implementation manual to maximize results.
