₦50,000 Relief Fund: FG Explains How Beneficiaries Will Be Selected

Nigeria’s federal government plans to give ₦50,000 to selected poor and vulnerable households through the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention, run by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction. Beneficiaries will be selected using verified national identity records and the National Social Register; they will receive an SMS, reply “YES” to consent, and then have the money credited to a mobile wallet linked to their phone number and NIN. The grant can be withdrawn through a POS agent or at a bank, or spent directly from the wallet through providers including ALAT, MoMo, NairaGram, OPay and Moniepoint. The government says people cannot apply individually or pay to be included, and warns recipients not to give money or banking details to fraudsters.

Atiku challenges Tinubu over fresh $7.7 billion loan

Former Nigerian vice president Atiku Abubakar challenged President Bola Tinubu’s request for a fresh $7.7 billion foreign loan, equivalent to about 10.79 trillion naira. He urged the Senate to scrutinize the proposal and demanded disclosure of the funded projects, costs, interest rates and repayment schedules. Atiku noted that the request followed separate borrowing proposals of $20.52 billion and €1.045 billion, and called on international lenders to pause new lending until the government provides transparent terms and a credible repayment plan. He also criticized worsening living conditions, infrastructure and social welfare despite the removal of the petroleum subsidy and extensive borrowing.
