The office of the Vice President has been designated to oversee the following six schemes adopted from the Social Protection Policy of the Federal Government. i. The Teach Nigeria Scheme(TNS): In this scheme, the Federal Government intends to recruit 500,000 graduates as teachers, who will be trained and deployed to raise the quality of teachers in public schools all over Nigeria. They would be deployed to work in their local communities as teachers, agriculture workers and health support workers. The graduands would be receiving a monthly stipend of N30,000 for a period of two years. ii. The Youth Employment Agency(YEA): In this scheme, the government intends to train 300,000 to 500,000 non­graduate youths in skill acquisition programme and vocational training. While they are in training, they will receive some stipends and after their training they will be self-sustaining in their communities. These youths will be selected from all the states including the Federal Capital Territory. iii. The Conditional Cash Transfer(CCT): In this scheme the government will be paying N5000 per month to one million extremely poor Nigerians this year on one condition, which is that they will enrol their children in school and also have them immunised. This would last for an initial period of two years with particular emphasis in the North East of Nigeria where internally displaced persons abound. 37
