Tinubu's Government Clarifies N50,000 Cash Support Program

The Federal Government of Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu, has provided details regarding the selection process for households eligible to receive N50,000 monthly cash support through the National Emergency (NERSI) program. This initiative aims to assist Nigerians struggling with rising living costs, particularly due to soaring food prices and economic hardship.

The program is administered by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, with beneficiaries selected automatically from verified national identity records and the national social register, focusing on poor and vulnerable households. No public applications or payments are required for inclusion, and the Ministry has warned against individuals claiming they can facilitate entry into the program for a fee.

Beneficiaries receive the funds directly into a mobile wallet without deductions. The Ministry encourages anyone approached for such offers to report the incidents to the program's help line.
