The Federal Government has explained its selection process for the N50,000 emergency relief support, known as the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI). Beneficiaries are chosen using National Identification Number records and the National Social Register, which contains data on impoverished and vulnerable households.
Households are assessed based on poverty indicators, and if they fall within the bottom six deciles, they may qualify for inclusion in the National Beneficiary Register. Registration with both the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and the National Social Register is required for selection. Nigerians cannot apply or pay to join the programme; payments are made in phases through mobile wallets.
