  "summary": "The Federal Government has introduced a USSD service through Wema Bank’s ALAT platform, allowing eligible Nigerians to check their eligibility for the ₦50,000 National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI) grant. Customers can dial the USSD code _945_23# on the mobile number linked to their Wema Bank account to check their eligibility. If selected, the funds will be credited to their mobile wallet, and beneficiaries will receive an SMS notification once the money has been deposited. The NERSI programme targets poor and vulnerable households identified through verified national identity records and the National Social Register, with eligible beneficiaries being selected by the government.",
