Only one million households entitled to N20,000 Coronavirus cash transfer, FG reveals

In a bid to cushion the economic impact of the lockdown in some states, the Federal Government has disclosed that only one million Nigerian families whose names are on the National Social Register (NSR) would get the N20,000 palliative from the Federal Government.

This was disclosed in an interview by the National Coordinator of the National Social Safety-Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO), Lonwa Apera.

Apera revealed that the National Transfer cash Office (NCTO) had over the years worked with various state governors to develop the NSR of poor and vulnerable people in 35 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) besides Ogun State.

He stated that the cash transfer that was kicked off by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs was for existing beneficiaries of the programme, and not for every Nigerian. He said more names would be captured for the new payments which would be in May.

Recall that on March 29th, President Buhari gave an executive order for Lagos, Ogun and the FCT be on lockdown beginning from March 30th due to the high number of Coronavirus cases recorded in these places.

He directed that as part of efforts to cushion the effect of the economic impact of the lockdown, N20,000 be paid to vulnerable households through the social investment scheme.

The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs has since begun the disbursement of the funds.
