A Nigerian man simply identified as Femi, has asked the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) to probe the reason why Sadiya Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development of Nigeria, has not paid five-month stipends of 14, 200 N-Power Volunteers, AllNews reports.
This newspaper understands that the owed stipends are for the months of March 2020 to July 2020.
The exited beneficiaries earned N30, 000 (approximately 76 US Dollars) per month.
Femi took his Twitter handle on Monday to make the call on the social rights advocate organization over the minister's "I don't care" attitude.

AllNews understands that Farouq is one of the Nigerian politicians who have gone against the grain on issues of national importance in 2020 and allegedly contributed to the suffering of the larger public.
N-Power is not the only reason Farouq receives jibes from the Nigerian people.
During the early stage of the coronavirus pandemic, Farouq was heavily criticised by Nigerians who didn’t believe her claim that she distributed palliatives to all states of the country.
Her claim was subsequently proven to be true though when the #EndSARS protests led some of the protesters to open warehouses across the country where these palliatives were stored.
Reacting to the discovery, Farouq said she had forgiven her traducers "for their ignorance".
