MTN users who are part of the Federal Government’s N50,000 monthly relief programme can check their eligibility and accept the support through the MoMo Payment Service Bank USSD code.

The USSD code allows access to the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention, aimed at providing financial assistance to vulnerable Nigerian households.

A social media message has been circulating, instructing MTN subscribers who have not received the payment or whose status shows 'NOT ELIGIBLE' to send 'YES' to a fake code for a promised payment within 24 hours.

MTN Nigeria Support has issued a warning that the circulating instruction is not from the telecommunications company and advised subscribers to disregard it.
