He said: “One of my responsibilities as a representative of the great and fabulous people of Brass-Nembe Federal Constituency is to ensure my constituents are not deprived of whatever should accrue to them.
“It is against this background that my office interfaced with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development through the National Social Investments Programmes, to ensure that the People of Brass-Nembe Federal Constituency are not left out either by omission or commission, from benefiting from the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme.
”I am pleased that in this third phase of the disbursement of the Conditional Cash Transfer, 180 persons per community in the underlisted communities in Nembe local government area received the sum of ₦20,000 each, being the first tranche of payment. The captured beneficiaries shall receive the second tranche of payment to the tune of ₦30,000 each in due course.
“It is gratifying to state that unlike the other two disbursements, which were carried out in 2020 and February 2021, this particular disbursement has our constituents working closely with the Agency for the purpose of ensuring transparency in the process”.
The conditional cash transfer was created in 2016 by the Federal Government under the National Social Investments Programmes (NSIP), with a mandate to alleviate poverty and hunger in the country.
