Federal Govt gives update on payment of N20,000 as palliative measure to Nigerians
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Farouq, has announced that two members of a family cannot receive N20,000 from the Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme.
Sadiya noted that the Ministry will begin investigation into the claims of double payments.
“Even though it would be almost impossible for such to happen, we shall investigate reports of double payment.”
Farouq said this during a Presidential Task Force briefing on COVID-19 on Tuesday.
The minister added that members of the same family cannot receive money more than once.
“It is impossible for two members of a family to be paid N20,000 each.
“Members of the same family cannot receive money from Conditional Cash Transfer more than once because the process involved is a very tedious one.
“The community leaders and the faith-based organizations, the youths and women leaders in that particular community are the ones that come up with the list of poor and vulnerable ones in that community,” she added.
