The President Tinubu-led Federal Government has resumed the payment of arrears to beneficiaries of the N-Power programme, The Herald reports.
Confirming the latest N-Power News, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu while speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Thursday evening revealed that the federal government has resumed paying stipends owed to N-power beneficiaries.
The Herald recalls that the President Tinubu-led government, on assumption of office, suspended the N-Power initiative over alleged irregularities and corruption. The government also suspended the payments of stipends to the beneficiaries.
Speaking during an interview, Betta Edu said, “First i will begin by giving a breaking news for young people out there who have been concerned about the NPower, presently a payment for Npower is ongoing, we were in the office yesterday all up until the early hours of this morning, 3:00 a.m.. just to ensure that young people get monies which they have been owed from the last government so N-Power beneficiaries across the nation i’m sure you can attest to the fact that you have started seeing your monies in your account and this process will continue until the last person who indeed has served is being paid and then of course all of these is being restructured to ensure that we can reduce unemployment and create jobs for Nigerians,”.
