FG begins payment of N25,000 CCT RRR cash transfer to households

The National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO) has started sending N25,000 Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) RRR payments to beneficiaries selected from the National Social Register (NSR) under the National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO).

Household beneficiaries have started receiving credit alerts of 25,000 naira. The total conditional cash amount is N75,000 per household, paid in three tranches.

The N25,000 payment SMS sent on Thursday reads:
“Credit Amt:NGN25,000.00
Acc:009******577
Desc:099ZEXA253100U
CD/R-1363634748/
NATIONALC:NationalSocialSafe
Date: 06/11/2025″

Beneficiaries will no longer receive physical payments from their State Cash Transfer Units at the ward level. Previously, Nigeriastartupact.ng reported that the Federal Government had earlier announced that all N25,000 CCT payments will now be made digitally through bank accounts or mobile wallets. There will be no more physical cash disbursement, as all transfers are now made directly to bank accounts.

Households that have already received all three tranches, amounting to N75,000, will no longer be eligible for further payments. The Federal Government aims to ensure that the remaining 7 million households receive their payments before the end of 2025, which is fast approaching.

So far, 8.5 million households have received at least one tranche of ₦25,000, while others have received two or all three payments. The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, confirmed that over 15 million households are being targeted for the ongoing disbursement.

Each beneficiary household is identified by their name and National Identity Number (NIN), with payments made digitally either to a bank account or mobile wallet.

The new N25,000 cash transfer is part of the ward-based development initiative, introduced by the Federal Government to channel funds directly to all 8,809 wards across 774 local government areas in Nigeria. The Federal Government also plans to expand the cash transfer programme further to reach more beneficiaries.
