The federal government under the ministry of finance with the world bank and IMF (international monetary fund) has adopted this administrative measure because of various complains/petitions received from beneficiaries due to the delays in receieving their contract/inheritance funds/ATM cards as expected.
It might interest you to know that the swift credit card system of payment was adopted to reduce the administrative protocols as regards (cost of transfer,vat,taxes and levies). It was adopted to help beneficaries who are financially down, who are not capable to meet up with the obligation of paying banks for administrative fees and handling charges. The swift credit card system will only cost the beneficiary 'cost of shipment' via courier company such as dhl, fedex and ups and insurance of his/her package.
