Declare you are poor and Recharge N100 and be eligible to receive relief fund – The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, has said poor people dwelling in urban areas who recharge just N100 credit on their phones will be eligible to receive the Federal Government Conditional Cash Transfer.

The minister made this known when she fielded questions from State House correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, April 14.

She said:

“You are also aware that Mr President in his broadcast yesterday (April 13) has directed that we expand the beneficiaries of the Conditional Cash Transfer by one million.

“In this regard, we are going to focus more on the urban poor. These are people who depend on informal sector to earn their livelihood – They are daily wage earners and these are people we are really going to focus more on as well as people living with disabilities.”

The minister further explained that apart from the National Social Register, the Bank Verification Numbers (BVN) and previous record of purchase of recharge card by mobile phone owners would form parts of criteria in identifying the beneficiaries of the cash transfer.

She said:

“We are also using the mobile network, people that top up their phones with maybe N100, N200. These are the people we consider to be poor and vulnerable.”

As in , is that what the best brains in Aso rock can come up with or are they deliberately trying to annoy me?

They'll be fine... The earlier we all acknowledged that nothing good will come out of their ministry the better for the populace

If that's true
No.1 is eligible for this fund in the whole Nairalander's, even those that do come out to beg for money occasionally.

Feeling so sad about the insincerity of our leaders. This is not rocket science nah, why complicate simple matters? ....... Billionaires being made at the expense of suffering people. Where are they carting the money they are scouping off the money meant for palliatives to? I just tire o!
