The Federal government says its transport subsidy payment of N5,000 to the vulnerable would be transferred digitally for a minimum period of six months and a maximum of 12 months.
Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, made this known on Wednesday while briefing newsmen after the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
Ahmed noted that this will happen after the removal of fuel subsidy in June 2022 to give people time to adjust.
The Minister further encouraged states to financially contribute to the N5,000 relief fund to improve the productive abilities of Nigerians.
