The Jigawa State Government has cautioned residents against paying any fees for registration into the President’s Renewed Hope Support Programme.
The Commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports and Culture, Alhaji Sagir Musa Ahmed, made this known in a statement issued to newsmen on Monday.
He noted that the registration process is completely free of charge.
He explained that the government had received complaints that some enumerators were allegedly collecting five hundred naira from applicants, describing the act as illegal.
Ahmed therefore warned enumerators to desist from such practices, while urging residents not to make any payments and to report anyone demanding money.
He added that the initiative was introduced to enhance the welfare of citizens in Jigawa State and across the country.
