Inline with that, the FMHDSD office responsible for building the National Social Register of Poor & Vulnerable Households who also coordinates #SocialProtection programs in Nigeria says that the National Social Register is an aggregation of state registers built by each of the 36 states + FCT.

States build the register using a Community Based Targeting approach undertaken by targeting teams & enumerators engaged by states & overseen by their ministries of planning.

This simply means that while the states disburse the find, the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs monitor the process.
