The Federal Government has announced plans to include families of Nigerian fallen soldiers and members of the Nigerian Legion among the beneficiaries of its Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, in a statement today by her Media aide, Mr Rasheed Zubair, said the move was part of the desire of C administration to support the vulnerable ex-servicemen, widows and the dependants of fallen heroes.

She, therefore, sought accurate data on the affected families of ex-servicemen so as to include them during the ongoing verification of the national social register.
