6. Social service delivery and infrastructural provisioning need to be reasonably expanded to facilitate social protection programmes and the delivery of the benefits. This should I indeed give some credence to the claim of transformational perspective inserted into the social protection policy. 7. There is a need to generate political commitment to social protection in Nigeria.

This will go a long way towards reducing the health burden of the poor. 10.
