The Nigeria Association of Social Workers (NASoW) has urged President Bola Tinubu to involve social workers in the social investment programmes embarked upon by his administration.
NASoW stated this in a letter to President Tinubu on Monday signed by its National President, Alhaji Mashood Mustapha and made available to journalists in Ibadan by the association National Public Relations Officer, Musliudeen Adebayo.
The letter urged President Tinubu to consider the inclusion of social workers within the programme’s framework, as their contributions would not only strengthen the implementation process but also uphold the core values of social responsibility and compassion that our nation embodies.
Alhaji Mustapha maintained that it is evident that Tinubu’s leadership has brought about positive changes in the country, saying “The strides made under your guidance have been commendable, showcasing a keen understanding of the complexities surrounding social investment.
” It is evident that your leadership has brought about positive changes, fostering a more inclusive and robust program. However, I would like to draw your attention to a critical aspect that could further amplify the impact of the National Social investment program. While the modifications have been instrumental, the engagement of qualified social workers is imperative for the program’s holistic success.”
