The ₦75,000 Cash Transfer Program, introduced by the Federal Government of Nigeria on October 17, 2023, continues in 2025. It targets low-income and vulnerable households listed under the Rapid Response Register (RRR) and National Social Register (NSR).
The program is managed by the National Social Safety-Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO) under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (FMHAPA). Eligible households receive ₦75,000 in three phases.
