N-Power July Stipends: Beneficiaries Cry Out Over Allowance

It is the eleventh day of September 2020 and Batch B beneficiaries of the N-Power scheme are still livid over the non-payment of their July stipend, AllNews reports.

This news medium had reported how N-Power beneficiaries stormed the social media pages of President Muhammadu Buhari and other top government functionaries to lament the delayed payment of the July 2020 stipend.

AllNews as well reported three days ago that Sadiya Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development of Nigeria explained the delayed payment of the stipend.

AllNews understands that the N-Power scheme is a social investment programme of the Buhari government aimed at empowering youths with 21st-century skills.

It was introduced in 2016 and 500,000 persons have benefited from it to date.

N-Power: See some recent reactions below:

We still have faith in the Government we formed with our PVCs. Npower transition plan and payment of stipends and backlogs are in progress. We urge all the volunteers to exercise patience. May we see the best.@Sadiya_farouq @FMHDSD @Npower_Reps @NCDCgov @MBuhari @ZShamsuna @cent pic.twitter.com/Xh3BoBnzgp

Many youths of the Npower batch A and B are their in pain to survive the hard tide yet you are not doing anything as regards to their July stipends. I was once told that a woman corrects the wrongs of a man. You are designed by God to bring solutions.
