Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs Warns Against ₦35,000 Scam
On September 29, 2026, the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs issued a warning to Nigerians about a viral flyer promising a ₦35,000 National Cash payment. The ministry identified the flyer as fraudulent, marking it with the word "FAKE" and advising the public to ignore it.
This warning was shared via the ministry's official X account on September 28, 2026. The misleading flyer, which appears to target Hausa-speaking individuals, claims that applications for the ₦35,000 financial assistance are open and can be completed in 30 seconds.
It is branded under "RRR NCTO National Cash Transfer" and includes a link for users to click. The ministry emphasized that such schemes are typical of phishing attempts aimed at stealing personal or financial information.
While the ministry did not confirm if anyone had fallen victim to the scam, it urged the public to depend solely on verified government sources for updates on social intervention programs.
