How to Get Verified for FG Cash Transfer

In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of getting verified, ensuring you can benefit from conditional cash transfers.

Introduction

Getting verified on the FG National Social Register for cash transfer is a critical step to access much-needed support. The Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, recently launched a nationwide verification exercise in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

National Social Register (NSR)

The National Social Register (NSR) in Nigeria is am an important tool implemented by the government to identify and register vulnerable households across the country. Launched as part of the National Social Safety Nets Project, the NSR serves as a comprehensive database aimed at facilitating targeted interventions and social protection programs.

By systematically cataloging information on households experiencing poverty and deprivation, the register helps streamline the distribution of social benefits and assistance.

The National Social Register stands as a cornerstone in Nigeria’s efforts to address socio-economic disparities and enhance the well-being of its most vulnerable citizens.

Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT)

Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) in Nigeria is a social intervention program designed to alleviate poverty and enhance social inclusion. Implemented by the government, the program targets the most vulnerable households, providing them with financial support on the condition that they meet specific criteria, such as ensuring regular school attendance for their children and participating in health-related activities.

The primary objective is to break the cycle of poverty by investing in human capital development. Beneficiaries receive cash transfers directly, empowering them to meet basic needs and invest in education and healthcare.

The Role of NASSCO

The FMHAPA office responsible for building the National Social Register of Poor & Vulnerable Households and coordinating social protection programs in Nigeria is NASSCO. This organization plays a vital role in identifying those in need of assistance.

The Purpose of Verification

To support President Tinubu’s renewed hope for conditional cash transfers, HM Dr. Betta Edu initiated the verification of individuals captured on the register established by the previous administration. This process aims to determine the real people who require support.

Door-to-Door Verification

The Ministry is taking the verification exercise directly to the doorsteps of registered individuals across all Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Nigeria. If you’re already registered, it’s crucial to make yourself available when required for verification.

Beware of Fraudsters

While the verification process is ongoing, NASSCO Nigeria issued a warning about fraudulent activities. Fraudsters have created fake “verification forms” online to deceive unsuspecting members of the public. Do not fill out any such forms, join WhatsApp groups, or share your personal information through text messages with individuals claiming to work for NASSCO.
