The Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme (RHWDP) enrollment process is ongoing nationwide, and here’s the enrollment breakdown and new method on how eligible residents can apply to become beneficiaries.
Each approved beneficiary under the programme will receive a ₦50,000 grant paid in three instalments, amounting to a total of ₦150,000.

The requirements are basic. Applicants must have a valid National Identification Number (NIN), be residents within the local government area or ward of enrolment, and be economically active. This includes smallholder farmers, entrepreneurs or traders, technicians, craftsmen and women, artisans, and persons with disabilities.
To apply for Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme, ward coordinators move around their wards to identify and enrol eligible beneficiaries based on their judgement. However, residents who do not see any enrolment officers should visit their ward council and request to be enrolled if they meet the requirements.
