N-Power Stipends: ‘All Legitimate Claims Will Be Paid Before End Of 2020’...We're Well Into 2021, Hajia Farouq!

Despite the promise by Sadiya Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, to pay all outstanding stipends of exited N-Power beneficiaries before the end of 2020, the Nigerian youths are still yet to get paid - 92 days after her pledge.

It would be recalled that Farouq had in a tweet on her verified Twitter handle in October 2020 assured former N-Power beneficiaries with “legitimate claims” that they’d be settled their arrears before the start of 2021. However that promise – like many pledges by Farouq and numerous Nigerian politicians – remains empty, AllNews' findings through communication with several Batch A and B beneficiaries revealed.

“All legitimate claims and those on verified list will be paid before the end of the year,” Farouq had stated in October 2020.
