  "account": "The Federal Government of Nigeria has introduced a relief programme providing monthly financial assistance of N50,000 to vulnerable households through the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI). MTN subscribers who are eligible for this programme can access it via the MoMo Payment Service Bank USSD code *671*0#. To check eligibility and accept the support, users must dial the USSD code from their registered phone numbers, follow on-screen instructions, and respond to official notifications. Beneficiaries are selected from verified national identity records and the National Social Register, and they can access the funds through the MoMo application, USSD, or a MoMo agent. The programme aims to ease the burden of living costs, and eligible recipients will receive an SMS from their payment provider requesting consent before the money is transferred to their mobile wallets.",
