The SPM urges beneficiaries to provide their National Identification Numbers (NIN) during the enrollment process to meet eligibility criteria for opening bank accounts in fulfilment of the recent Central Bank of Nigeria directive encouraging those that have not registered to do so instantly.
He stated that all the beneficiaries would be paid through their bank accounts, emphasizing that those with existing bank accounts will be paid through their accounts while new accounts will be opened by the program for those that do not have accounts to ensure total inclusiveness of beneficiaries.
