President Tinubu’s administration has expanded the National Social Register to 19.7 million people, covering both urban slums and rural poor communities. This represents a growth from the 13 million inherited by the current administration. The Social Register features National Identification Numbers (NINs), verified phone numbers, and geotagged homes to enhance transparency.
Under the Conditional Cash Transfer program, 5.7 million out of a targeted 15 million households have been paid, amounting to N238 billion. Plans are underway to pay 9 million more households, requiring over N1 trillion. The program covers 228,000 communities across all local governments, states, and wards, ensuring equitable wealth distribution.
