She further stated that this Friday, more considerable number of validated applicants will receive significant grant amounts, adding that the disbursement process is continuous, and not every applicant will get their grant on this first scheduled date.
Uzoka-Anite assured that all verified applicants will eventually receive their grants in subsequent phases.
