The National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) says only N-Power beneficiaries with failed payment issues will be considered for settlement.
The national programme manager of N-Power, Akindele Egbuwalo, says beneficiaries of the Batch C programme who have been owed for eight months will be paid soon.
The Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government has promised to pay N-Power beneficiaries their withheld eight-month allowances. The N-Power National Programme Manager, Akindele Egbuwalo, confirmed this, adding that the affected persons are beneficiaries of the Batch C programme who had been owed for eight months. The Federal Government had suspended the N-Power programme last week, stating that the scheme had ghost beneficiaries, while some of its consultants were withholding participants’ funds.
Dr Betta Edu, the minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation, has unveiled the Bola Tinubu-led federal government's plan for the N-Power scheme.
The Batch "C" of N-Power beneficiaries has written to President Bola Tinubu, calling for urgent intervention as they lamented that they have not been paid their stipends for the past eight months. The N-Power batch "C" beneficiaries in the letter written by their National Publicity Secretary, Gbadebo Adesiyan, said that the nonpayment of the stipends had caused immense distress, inconveniences and hardship to millions of unemployed Nigerian graduates captured under the scheme.
