The federal government will commence cash payment to 200,000 urban poor senior citizens that do not have access to regular income and were severely impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown.
Coordinator, National Social Safety Net Programme, Iorwa Apera, say the cash transfer for the 200,000 senior citizens would roll off after the data of the intended beneficiaries were authenticated by their respective communities.
He says four per cent of the 35 million poor and vulnerable persons drawn from 8.5 million in the national register across 36 states and the FCT was made up of elderly persons.
He says two million individuals, who were categorised as senior citizens were aggregated by location, education, age grade, status, disability and sex.
