The federal government has flagged off its twenty thousand naira cash grants for rural women across the country.

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, SADIYA FAROUQ, represented by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, BASHIR ALKALI, flagged off the programme in Anambra state.

She warned the women to be wary of fraudulent persons who may want to extort them, stressing that the money is non-refundable.

The non-refundable cash given to the women is part of federal government’s social intervention programmes, aimed at lifting one hundred million people out of poverty.
