The Federal Government outlined the selection criteria for its N50,000 emergency relief program, addressing public inquiries about eligibility requirements. Beneficiaries are chosen based on verified National Identification Number records and the National Social Register, which list poor and vulnerable households. These households are assessed using poverty indicators, and those ranked within the bottom six deciles may qualify for the program.
