Lagos State has begun the registration of residents for the Renewed Hope Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme, starting with Ward B as the first phase of the exercise.
The Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area, Sesan Olowa, announced the commencement of the registration during a press briefing at the council secretariat in Ibeju on Tuesday. He explained that the registration exercise would run from October 7 to October 14, 2025.
According to Olowa, the registration aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda focused on poverty alleviation and social inclusion. He said the initiative aims to provide targeted financial assistance to vulnerable households within the local government area as part of efforts to reduce economic hardship and improve livelihoods.
“The exercise will take place at designated centres across all wards in the council area. Residents are advised to visit the centre closest to them on their ward’s scheduled date for registration,” Olowa stated.
He explained that applicants are required to provide personal and household information, including their names, dates of birth, gender, marital status, address, and phone number. Valid identification such as a voter’s card, LASRRA, NIN, or BVN is mandatory for verification.
“Details on family size, building type, occupation, income level, health status, and disability information will also be captured to ensure comprehensive profiling,” he added.
Olowa stressed that the registration is entirely free and urged residents to provide accurate information to ensure a fair and transparent data capture process. He further noted that the Conditional Cash Transfer initiative is part of the Federal Government’s broader National Social Investment Programme (NSIP), designed to cushion the effects of economic reforms and reduce poverty among low-income households.
Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to supporting residents, Olowa said all necessary structures had been put in place to guarantee a smooth registration and verification process. He added that the programme would improve the living standards of residents, particularly women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, by providing financial relief and promoting economic stability.
“Go to your ward’s centre at the designated date and present authentic documents to facilitate smooth registration and eventual inclusion in the scheme,” Olowa advised.
