Federal Government Addresses Delays in N50,000 Relief Grant
The Federal Government clarified the reasons behind the delayed SMS notifications for its N50,000 relief grant, stating that payments are being processed in phases and beneficiaries are contacted in batches. This means that some individuals may receive their notifications later than others, but this does not indicate exclusion from the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention.
The government emphasized that not all applicants would be selected in the current phase due to the program's limited capacity to support households. To check eligibility, individuals can use the USSD code provided by their payment provider.
The intervention, implemented by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, aims to assist households facing rising living costs. Selected beneficiaries receive the grant through mobile wallets from five approved payment providers: ALAT, MoMo PSB, NairaGram, OPay, and Moniepoint.
The government warned against fraudsters claiming they could expedite the process for a fee and reiterated that the grant does not require repayment.
