The Assistant Team Head, NSSNP, Mr Lukman Imam, expressed satisfaction over the entire exercise and commended the efforts of the community development chairmen.
He said that the team registered data of over 500 vulnerable persons in the estate in Ward B while a similar exercise had been carried out at Wards C and E, all in Abesan and Okunola areas of Mosan Okunola Local Council Development Area of the state.
According to him, the exercise was successful with the help of the community development chairmen and other officials who mobilised the vulnerable in the community.
The team head explained that the objective of the data capturing is for the federal government to have their data so that in case there are future programmes to be extended to them, they will be easily assessed.
