The National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention is a Federal Government programme designed to help households cope with rising living costs.

The intervention, managed by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, provides N50,000 to selected beneficiaries through mobile wallets operated by five approved payment providers.

According to the frequently asked questions published on the programme’s website and sighted by PUNCH Online on Thursday, the grant is not a loan, does not require repayment and can be accessed without a smartphone or internet connection.

The government also explained how beneficiaries were selected, why their phone numbers were used, how to withdraw the money and what to do if they encountered problems.
