Eligibility & Selection Process
The GVG programme operates with strict biometric verification and anti-nepotism protocols to ensure that federal funds reach only the truly indigent and vulnerable citizens of Nigeria.
Core Qualification Thresholds
National Social Register (NSR) Listing
The primary pool of beneficiaries is extracted from the NSR compiled by NASSCO through Community-Based Targeting (CBT). Households classified under poorest quantiles automatically qualify for consideration.
Confirmed Physical or Sensory Disability
Citizens living with mobility, hearing, vision, or cognitive impairments confirmed by accredited disability associations (JONAPWD) or LGA social welfare assessments.
Zero Age Limit Rule
Unlike conventional youth employment schemes, GVG has NO age ceiling or floor. Elderly senior citizens (65+), widows with dependents, and orphaned youths are fully eligible.
Conflict or Natural Disaster Displacement
Displaced individuals housed in formal IDP camps or verified by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMA).
How Beneficiaries Are Enrolled

Biometric Verification
NIN & BVN biometric de-duplication to prevent duplicate claims
Needs Profiling
