Dr. Onyemaechi who said that the agency has already enrolled over one hundred and fifteen thousand people into the scheme, revealed that over fifty thousand of the beneficiaries are from the informal sector and appealed to good spirited Ndi Anambra to enroll their people, especially the less privileged ones into the scheme through the adoption model initiated by the agency.
