  "summary": "The Federal Government has introduced a USSD service through Wema Bank's ALAT platform, allowing selected Nigerians to check their eligibility for the ₦50,000 National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI). The programme, coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, is designed to provide financial assistance to poor and vulnerable households affected by the rising cost of living. To check eligibility, Wema Bank customers should dial the USSD code _945_23# on the mobile number linked to their Wema Bank account, select the eligibility-check option, follow the instructions, and accept the support if selected.",
