National Cash Transfer Household Uplifting Program
The Nigerian federal government is giving money/cash to the low-income earners. The money is under the Rapid Response Register (RRR) and beneficiaries will receive the stipend for six months.
The target beneficiaries are “self-employed”, “wage employed” and “urban poor.”
The ministry of humanitarian affairs, using “cutting-edge” technology, had undertaken a pilot scheme where over 100,000 beneficiaries in Lagos and the federal capital territory (FCT) were captured.
