300, 000 erstwhile enrollees of the Nigerian government's N-Power scheme are yet to get paid their July stipend, AllNews understands.
N-Power graduate beneficiaries are paid a monthly stipend of N30, 000, meaning over nine billion naira is being spent as remuneration on Batch B beneficiaries by the Nigerian government every month. The Federal Government had repeatedly and publicly put their figure at 300, 000.
The N-Power Graduate Programme is the federal government’s direct intervention to tackle youth unemployment and re-energise public service delivery in four key sectors, that is, education, agriculture, health and tax, AllNews understands.
At the present time, twelve days before the month of October, beneficiaries are still waiting to be paid for July [not even August].
Since the transfer of the National Social Investment Programme (N-SIP) to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development in October 2019, N-Power beneficiaries' pay has not been regular, this writer gathered from several bonafide volunteers.
The non-payment has caused many of the exited beneficiaries to come on social media (Twitter most especially) to demand their payment.
@npower_ng please are we going to wait till eternity before our July stipend is paid? Please kindly pay us this stipend before you disengaging us finally.
