The federal government has introduced a USSD option through Moniepoint Microfinance Bank for Nigerians to check their eligibility and receive the ₦50,000 National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI).
The intervention, spearheaded by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, is designed to provide financial assistance to vulnerable households struggling with the rising cost of living.
Moniepoint Microfinance Bank, an approved payment partner for the programme, said customers could use its USSD service to check whether they had been selected for the intervention.
The service allows eligible beneficiaries to accept the payment directly into their Moniepoint accounts without visiting a bank branch or using an internet connection.
