The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has flagged off the verification of the National Social Register (NSR) in some communities in Lagos state.
A statement by media aide to the minister, Rasheed Zubair, indicated that the exercise was carried out in; Oko Agbon, Adogbo, Migbewhe, Makoko, Sogunro, and Apollo in Lagos State.
Edu said the exercise, which is expected to last for three weeks was an integrity test as President Bola Tinubu was desirous to touch the lives of the poor and change things for the better.
Edu, who spoke after she carried out door-to-door verification of the register, said the federal government was ready to put money into the hands of Nigerians to assist them in their businesses, education of their children, livelihood, and job creation.
