₦50,000 NERSI Relief: Who Qualifies and Why You May Not Have Been Paid

The Federal Government’s NERSI programme provides ₦50,000 to selected poor and vulnerable households. Beneficiaries are chosen using NIN records and the National Social Register, and payments are being made in phases. The ministry has not published the exact screening criteria or a list of disqualifying conditions. You may not have been selected if your household is not on the register or did not meet the programme’s poverty assessment. You may also be waiting for a later payment phase. Selected beneficiaries are notified by SMS, and eligibility checks should be made only through the designated payment providers. The government says there is no registration fee. Do not pay anyone who promises to secure a place on the list. The ministry had not announced the total number of households to be reached or how long payments would take.
