About the programme
Support when households need it most
The Humanitarian Assistance Programme is the Federal Government’s shock-responsive cash transfer for poor and vulnerable Nigerian households. It puts money directly into people’s hands through a mobile wallet, quickly and transparently.
Our promise
Nothing is paid without your consent, nothing is taken from your support, and nobody can sell you a place on the list.
How it works
Four simple steps
-
You get an SMS
It comes from ALAT, MoMo, NairaGram, OPay or Moniepoint and tells you that you have been selected.
-
Reply YES
This is your consent to take part. Nothing is paid without it.
-
Your wallet opens
Your wallet is linked to your phone number and NIN.
-
Collect your cash
₦50,000 is credited. Cash out at a POS agent, at a bank, or spend from your wallet.
