Overview of the ₦75,000 Cash Transfer Program
Launched on October 17, 2023, by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (FMHAPA), the ₦75,000 conditional cash transfer is part of the government’s strategy to reduce poverty and cushion economic hardship.
The cash is disbursed in three phases to eligible households listed in either the NSR or RRR. Each beneficiary receives ₦25,000 per phase, totaling ₦75,000.
The program is managed by the National Social Safety-Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO).
What Are the NSR and RRR?
National Social Register (NSR)
The NSR is a database of poor and vulnerable Nigerians compiled through community-based targeting:
- Trained Enumerators visit communities.
- They collect household data (income, size, shelter, etc.).
- Information is verified by the State Ministry of Planning before being uploaded to NASSCO.
Only households confirmed to be in real need are included.
Rapid Response Register (RRR)
The RRR was created to respond to emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. It follows a similar data collection model as the NSR but is faster and focuses on urgent poverty cases.
Each state has its own data team working in collaboration with NASSCO.
