Enugu State Government has begun sensitisation of residents, to participate in Federal Government’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Register (RRR) cash transfer for the vulnerable.

The Coordinator of State Operations and Coordinating Unit , Enugu State, Mrs Joy-Blossom Eneh, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday that the campaign was meant to create RRR awareness for people of the state.NAN reports that the COVID-19 RRR is an intervention by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, in partnership with the World Bank, to cushion the economic shocks of the global pandemic.

Eneh said the programme was designed to target the enrolment of those made poorer and vulnerable by the pandemic, which would be done using cell phone messaging services technology.According to her, the SMS will provide clear guidance through a USSD Code on how people can apply and register in few simple steps.

The coordinator noted that the state government had been appealing to low-income earners in the state to key into the programme when it begins.“The consultant will send us USSD code for the opening of the portal and if you register, a number will call you. “But for now, we are waiting for the code and once it comes, it will be released to the people in the state to register,” she said.Eneh noted that the campaign was yielding results as residents were already calling to ask for the USSD code, to apply.
