The federal government says it has commenced the
disbursement process for the presidential conditional grant scheme to verified
applicants.
President Bola Tinubu, on October 17, 2023, launched the
renewed hope conditional cash transfer to 15 million households.
According to a statement on Tuesday by the office of the
ministry of industry, trade, and investment, several beneficiaries have already
received their grants, marking the beginning of the disbursement strategy.
“The President Bola Tinubu Administration understands the
importance of these grants in supporting the livelihoods and businesses of our
citizens, and this is why we are committed to ensuring a smooth and transparent
process,” the ministry said.
By April 19, the ministry said significant disbursement will
be made to a sizable number of confirmed applicants.
“It is essential to understand that disbursements are
ongoing, and not all applicants will receive their grants on this initial date.
However, rest assured that all verified applicants will eventually receive
their grants in subsequent phases,” the ministry said.
“We ask for your patience as we continue to process the
applications with the utmost diligence and fairness.”
The federal government said the phased disbursement process
has been established to guarantee each application is given the consideration
it deserves.
