Federal Government Grant Yet To Hit The 1290 Maximum As Applicants Await Final Federal Government Grant Disbursement

Observations on the federal government grant portal shows that no local government area has gotten to 1290, Konshisha with 1224 being the closest to 1290 beneficiaries for the federal government grant. Applicants yet to receive the federal government grant are implored to exercise patience as the federal government grant disbursement has not been concluded. According to the Minister for Industry Trade and Investment Doris Nkiruka Uzoka-Anite at the end of the disbursement of the federal government grant the names and list of all 1,000,000 beneficiaries will be published on the federal government grant portal, the minister said that applicants that fail the NIN verification process will not be considered and they should apply for the ongoing federal government loan application with their CAC or SMEDAN certificates.
The federal government grant will not be repaid by beneficiaries unlike the federal government loan which will be repaid at the end of the loan tenure. Beneficiaries of the federal government grant will receive ₦50,000 while beneficiaries of the federal government loan will receive ₦1,000,000. The federal government loan application is still ongoing but will be closing soon, after that the federal government loan will be disbursed, this will be done after the federal government grant has been cleared and all eligible beneficiaries have all received their federal government grant. Applicants that applied last year but failed to update their NIN on the federal government grant portal will not receive the federal government grant, applicants that received text message to update their NIN and did likewise will receive the federal government grant, applicants sent messages to go to their local government area for data capturing and have completed this process will receive the federal government grant. Applicants that have already received the federal government grant but received the text messages to proceed to their local government area for data capturing might ignore the message since they have already received the federal government grant. The federal government grant is a one time payment and no beneficiary can receive the federal government grant twice as people might have claimed and this is the essence of the NIN verification. The NIN verification process prevents disbursement of federal government grant to the same person twice and ensures that the right individual receive the federal government grant and not a 'ghost' beneficiary. The federal government grant application has ended although their are some grants available online like the fgn alat and other initiatives. Individuals, applicants and even beneficiaries of Npower have been advised to capitalize on these opportunities while awaiting their Npower payment.

The federal government grant was launched last year by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as part of the Renewed Hope Agenda to cushion the effect of inflation and economic hardship to the poor and vulnerable, to enable these beneficiaries of the federal government grant to start up nano businesses in their immediate communities.

Beneficiaries of Npower have said that they will embark on massive demonstration if they do not receive their payment by June.
Today makes it more than a year, beneficiaries of Npower batch c are being owed their Npower payment, some beneficiaries of Npower batch c have not received Npower payment since they were onboarded for their Npower program and majority of these beneficiaries of Npower batch c travel very far from their places of residence to their places of primary assignment. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu suspended the National Social Investment Programmes, Npower and Betta Edu inclusive and since then the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not lifted the Npower program and this has continued to create lots of hardship to Npower batch c beneficiaries that depends on these stipends to cater for themselves and even their immediate families.
Beneficiaries of Npower is calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as well as other stakeholders and players in the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to quickly look into their situation regarding Npower payment and lift the suspension on the National Social Investment Programmes.

The Cash Transfer also known as the Community Cash Transfer Programme (CCT) is one of the social safety nets programmes anchored by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The Conditional Cash Transfer Programme commenced in September, 2016. The Conditional Cash Transfer was conceived as part of the Federal Government of Nigeria’s (FGN) larger growth and social inclusion strategies aimed at addressing key social concerns in the country.
The Conditional Cash Transfer is a component of National Social Safety Nets Project (NASSP) which is supported by the World Bank, to provide financial support to targeted poor and vulnerable Nigerian households.

The Conditional Cash Transfer programme is focused on responding to deficiencies in capacity and lack of investment in human capital, especially amongst our poorest citizens. Beneficiaries of the Conditional Cash Transfer programme are mined from the National Social Register (NSR), comprising State Social Registers (SR) of poor and vulnerable households. The Social Registers (SRs) are being developed with the training, supervision and guidance from the National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office in Abuja.

The Conditional Cash Transfer programme is designed to deliver timely and accessible cash transfers to beneficiary households and sets to support development objectives and priorities, to achieve specific outcomes as outlined below:

1) Improve household consumption.

2) Increase in utilization of health and nutrition services.

3) Improve school enrolment and attendance.

4) Improve environmental sanitation and management.

5) Encourage household financial and asset acquisition.

6) Engage beneficiaries in sustainable livelihood.

The Conditional Cash Transfer programme has three components which are as follows:

1) Base Cash Transfer: This provides targeted monthly base cash transfer of ₦25,000 for three months making a total of ₦75,000 to the eligible mined from the National Social Register (NSR). The Cash transfer is to help improve their consumption levels and to encourage them to develop savings skills. The overall objective is aimed at reducing poverty, preventing the vulnerable households from becoming poorer and building their ability to be better than what they were before they started benefiting from the conditional cash transfer programme.

2) Top-Up based on State selected conditions: The top-up cash transfer is an additional ₦25,000 made available to some poor and vulnerable households. Beneficiaries who qualify for the top-up cash transfer are required to participate in at least one of the activities that contributes to their human capital development and to a sustainable environment. Beneficiaries are expected to adhere to the specified conditions attached to the top-up transfer. These conditions are referred to as “co-responsibilities”. The co-responsibilities are associated to education, environment, health, and nutrition. Each state is expected to pick at least one co-responsibility that reflects the state’s deficiency in the specified areas. The objectives of the top-up cash transfer include the following:

A) Education: Increase children school enrolment/attendance
B) Environment: Address environmental hazards to improve productive assets
C) Health: Improve utilization of health facilities for ante-natal care, post-natal care, and child immunization
D) Nutrition: Improve child nutrition

3) Livelihood Support: The livelihood support activities facilitate graduation of beneficiaries out of poverty, thereby making them financially independent. Livelihood support aims at complementing the cash transfer to help targeted households to build a mind-set of enterprise development in order to reduce abject poverty in communities and create opportunities for work both on-farm and off-farm especially among women and youth. The livelihood component of the conditional cash programme is fundamentally focused at enabling beneficiaries to establish a sustainable means of livelihood. A number of beneficiaries have made remarkable progress in their individual lives and households. A lot of the beneficiaries of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) are engaged in productive business activities for self-reliance. Some of them are engage in animal husbandry, petty trading, services such as dressmaking, grinding of grains and other necessary service at the communities which was the preserve of a few persons.
National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO)
The National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO) through the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme provides support for poor and vulnerable citizens through targeted cash transfers, capacity building, and coaching and mentoring and livelihood support.
Overall Management Responsibilities for National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO)

1) Provide technical support and stakeholder engagement.

Npower News Today Thursday June 13th 2024

It is exactly two more days to the deadline given by the Npower National Coordinator for Npower payment to beneficiaries of Npower batch c by the Federal Government of Nigeria and it seems the Presidency is yet to say anything about the payment of Npower batch c outstanding stipends.
Recall that the Npower national coordinator in previous publications has said that once Npower payment is not made by June 15th then Npower batch c beneficiaries will stage a nationwide demonstration.
As the situation unfolds Npower batch c beneficiaries have been advised to exercise patience while they explore other federal government initiatives like the conditional cash transfer programme, the federal government loan and other government initiatives. Weeks ago the federal government rekindled the conditional cash transfer, a component of the National Social Investment Programmes but have left Npower batch c beneficiaries in the dark or rather in suspense. Npower batch c beneficiaries are being owed 9 to 12 months stipend, Betta Edu made only one payment when she assumed office but was suspended and investigated for misappropriation of public funds in the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and has since been removed from office and undergoing investigations. Reports have it online that until the investigations conducted by the anti-graft agency is concluded Npower cannot commence neither will Npower payment be made to Npower batch c beneficiaries. Npower batch c beneficiaries and even the house of representatives to expedite the investigation process so that Npower payment will be released but yet again the Presidency has turned deaf ears to this request. A commitee was set up to look into the payment of Npower batch c beneficiaries which was anchored by Mr Wale Edun but it seems as if the matter is just beyond him as nothing has been done by the committee. It seems as though the federal government is more interested in disbursement of loans and grants than Npower payment. In all these Npower batch c beneficiaries have written several letters to prominent figures using these figures as a channel to get to the Presidency but all the feedback received were mere promises with word of mouth and no action.
As the situation progresses, Npower batch c beneficiaries are giving the Federal Government till June 15th to commence Npower payment otherwise a massive protest will commence. The federal government has pushed Npower beneficiaries beyond the wall.
