• No physical cash distribution at wards or local government offices
• No need to meet agents or officials to collect money

This digital system helps reduce fraud, improve transparency, and ensure faster payments.

Anyone asking you to pay money to help process, unlock, or fast-track your CCT payment is a scammer. The programme is completely free.

Who Is Eligible for the ₦25,000 CCT Payment?

Eligibility is based strictly on information contained in the National Social Register (NSR). Beneficiaries were identified using:

• Full name
• National Identity Number (NIN)
• Household vulnerability assessment

According to official records:

• Over 8.5 million households have received at least one ₦25,000 tranche
• Some households have already received two or all three tranches
• Households that have completed the full ₦75,000 payment will not receive additional funds under this phase

The Federal Government aims to reach over 15 million households before the end of 2025.
