It is National Cash Transfer Office, an arm of National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development responsible for the management of the Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) to the poor and vulnerable groups in Nigeria under the Household Uplifting Programme (HUP).
It was established by the Federal Government to address the consumption needs of the poorest and most vulnerable households and improve human capital development of the citizens.

To enable beneficiaries and community members air their opinion, lay complaints and have an avenue where such complaint can be resolved.
States and LGAs will receive financial and technical support from Federal Government to carry out their responsibilities. The State Government will provide personnel and logistics support. States will be expected to ensure that supply side facilities are provided as needed for co-responsibilities.
Communities that have limited access to technological infrastructure, such as mobile phone coverage and internet, and financial infrastructure, will be paid using offline technology by utilizing the services of MMOs (Mobile Money Operators).
The payment will be made once in two months (six times in a year).
The benefits of the approach include:
1. To ensure that cash benefits reach those intended.
2. To ensure an electronic trail of Cash Transfers is established, strengthening transparency, accountability, efficiency and safety.
The payment system will transfer cash benefits directly from NCTO at Federal level to beneficiaries using commercially available payment services and minimize the role of intermediaries.
The NASSP-SU is a follow-on operation to the NASSP and intends to build on and scale up the existing delivery system to provide shock responsive safety nets and to extend regular social assistance to the poor and vulnerable.
The project is designed to offer time-limited cash transfers in response to recent shocks (food price inflation) in rural as well as urban areas. The project will also extend the duration of support to the current beneficiaries of NASSP regular cash transfer program – yet to receive 18 cycles of benefits.
The broad objective of the project is to expand coverage of shock responsive safety net support among the poor and vulnerable and strengthen the national safety net delivery system.
