Federal Government Launches ₦50,000 Relief Grant for Nigerians
The Federal Government of Nigeria has introduced a ₦50,000 relief grant under the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI) to assist vulnerable households facing economic hardship. Nigerians can check their eligibility and access the funds through five service providers: ALAT by Wema, MoMo Payment Service Bank, NairaGram, OPay, and Moniepoint, using specific USSD codes.
The initiative differs from traditional empowerment programs by relying on existing beneficiary records rather than requiring new registrations. Beneficiaries will receive an SMS from an approved financial institution confirming their eligibility.
They must then activate their mobile wallet to receive the payment. The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction has also approved Xpress Payments as a provider, though its USSD details are not yet available.
The government warns against scams and emphasizes that the grant is a one-off payment, not a loan, and recipients should not disclose sensitive banking information.
