Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, (SERAP) has advised the Federal Government to use electronic transfer for the payment of N5,000 to the poor people, rather than making physical payment.
The group said transferring the N5,000 electronically would be more cost-effective than the distribution of cash to citizens.
