Federal Government Restricts ₦50,000 Cash Support Access

The Federal Government has issued a clarification regarding its ₦50,000 monthly cash support program, stating that no one can collect the funds on behalf of another person. The payment system is designed to link directly to the registered beneficiary's phone number, ensuring that only the recipient can access the funds.

While a trusted family member may assist by dialing the access code, the beneficiary must always enter their Personal Identification Number (PIN) themselves. The government has warned recipients against sharing their phone, PIN, or One-Time Password (OTP) with anyone, including close relatives, to prevent potential fraud.

This cash support initiative is part of the government's efforts to assist vulnerable Nigerians, and beneficiaries are encouraged to follow official procedures and seek help only from verified government channels if they encounter difficulties.
