The Federal Government has resumed the payment of N5,000 monthly stipend to 12,337 poor and vulnerable households in Ondo State.
This was confirmed by Head of Unit, Ondo State Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Office, Tosin Olupona who revealed that the benefiting families were from 15 local government areas out of the 18 in the state.
According to Olupona, the backlog has been lodged on each of the beneficiary’s new debit card accounts that will be accessed through payment agents in their communities.
Olopona attributed the delay in payment to operational issues, adding that the backlog payment was from six to 20 months, depending on when the beneficiary joined the scheme.
