The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development is scheduled to recommence payment of Conditional Cash Transfer to beneficiaries nationwide on August 23.
The scheme is being executed through one of its Departments, the National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO).
The National Coordinator of the programme, Hajiya Halima Shehu, said this while speaking with State Focal Persons of the National Social Investment Programme who paid her a courtesy visit in Abuja yesterday.
Shehu said that the delay in payment was due to system strengthening process in the project to improve implementation and further enhance service delivery.
“Thirty per cent of its operations have been digitised and will recommence payment to its beneficiaries next week,” she said.
The national coordinator noted that some states might not start receiving payment on August 23 due to some challenges.
Shehu, however, said that efforts were in place to rectify the challenges.
