FG NERSI 2026: How To Apply For The ₦50,000 Monthly Relief – Portal And Eligibility

The Federal Government has launched the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI), a Presidential cash transfer programme that pays eligible vulnerable Nigerians ₦50,000 monthly to ease the pressure of food inflation and the high cost of living. Payments go directly to the beneficiary’s account or mobile wallet through licensed digital financial service providers, and beneficiaries first receive an SMS asking for their consent. The Ministry’s official statement says beneficiaries are not required to apply, pay any fee or register through any agent. This is 100% FREE.
