The Federal Government has explained why some Nigerians are yet to receive text message notifications for its N50,000 relief grant, saying payments are being made in phases and selected beneficiaries are being contacted in batches.
The government said the delay in receiving a notification did not necessarily mean an individual had been excluded from the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention.
According to the programme’s frequently asked questions published on its website and sighted by PUNCH Online on Thursday, payment providers are contacting beneficiaries in batches, meaning some selected recipients may receive their messages later than others.
“Payments go out in phases. Providers contact beneficiaries in batches, so your SMS may simply not have arrived yet,” the website stated.
However, the government clarified that not everyone would be selected in the current phase because the intervention was designed to support a limited number of households at a time.
