The NRCS’s regret was disclosed in a statement on its official website, which LEADERSHIP obtained on Sunday in Maiduguri.

The statement said the exercise, a joint initiative by NRCS and UNICEF, aimed to support the educational needs of vulnerable families across three local government areas of the state.

“The second phase of the disbursement, targeting 8,121 beneficiaries, began on May 14, 2025, at four designated pay points: Kasugula Primary School, Old Bama Primary School, Kaigamari Primary School, and Mbusube Primary School,” the NRCS said.

According to the NRCS, over 1,000 beneficiaries received assistance “without incident” on the first distribution day.
