N-Power volunteers will get their stipends next week, says minister
Sadiya Umar Farouq, minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, says the stipends of N-Power beneficiaries for the month of April will be paid early next week.
She made the promise at briefing of the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 in Abuja on Friday.
Last week, the ministry had appealed to the volunteers to be patient, as “payments are currently being processed”.
However, while responding to a question on why the payment had not been made for April, the minister gave the assurance that it would be made early next week.
“I would like to say it is in the final stage of payments. By early next week, they will get their payments, Insha Allah,” she said.
The N-power programme was established by the federal government to provide jobs and skill empowerment initiatives for youths.
The N-Power programme, which comes with job training, education and a monthly stipend of N30,000, is only open to persons aged between 18 and 35.
The question is why is mama always delaying the payment for beneficiaries.
Abi dem dey first fix am for interest? All these corruption no good. Make we change things. Na so so this kind of things go just dey happen? The bad thing be say. Excuse must to fail.. small shame for good.
please mama a whole month is too much to fix this huge money, we can’t live in 2 rooms at a time. when there is no much organization stipend was paid before the end of the month. why is the same process or findings been repeated every month.
Gratias! To serve the money every month she assert how possible it is when we are not getting the money in time.
The feeding of school pupils during lockdown that is suspicious,is given attention cos is full of irregularities. But to pay stipend as it so called has being a tug of war. Nigeria is a case study.
