The Federal Government has commenced the disbursement of N20,000
Conditional Cash Transfer to poor Nigerians at the Kwali Area Council of
the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Recall that President Buhari on Sunday March 29, announced that some
palliative measures will be put in place to help cushion the economic
effect of the sit-at-home order which began in Lagos and Abuja on Monday
night.

While kickstarting the disbursement of the funds today, the Minister
of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development,
Sadia Umar-Farouk, said each person would receive N20,000 every month
for four months beginning from March.
