However, there is also anxiety among the targeted beneficiaries as many are yet to receive alerts confirming the disbursement.
Furthermore, students in primary and secondary schools are also expected to receive a cash grant of N10,000 each under the same intervention program.
To facilitate the disbursement process, the State Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology has communicated with the heads of tertiary institutions, requesting them to provide the names of Ogun State indigenes enrolled in their institutions to ensure they benefit from the cash disbursement scheme.
