Batches A and B beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s N-Power scheme had two weeks ago commenced an online protest in respect of their unpaid stipends from 2020, and the delayed implementation of the NEXIT by the FG.
Careernews understands that the online protest – orchestrated by the 36 States and FCT N-Power Representatives – is expected to end soon.
The demonstration became imminent following the expiration of the near four-week ultimatum given to the Ministry of the Humanitarian Affairs, which is headed by Sadiya Farouq.
Reason for this latest action by former NPower beneficiaries
Six months after the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development asked Batches A and B beneficiaries who are owed multiple months stipends to see their State Focal Person, Farouq, who heads the ministry has continued to ignore their cries.
More than 14,000 bonafide N-Power Batches A and B beneficiaries, who were disengaged from the scheme since July 2020 have not been paid their entitled stipends (many of them owed March to July, and Wema Bank users didn’t get paid for June 2020). This, despite the revalidation exercise that happened in October 2020 across major Nigerian states.
Also, since releasing the NEXIT Portal on November 30, 2020 – four months after exiting N-Power Batches A and B beneficiaries, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development of Nigeria which is saddled with N-Power duties have not effected the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Empowerment Programme.
This is despite the fact that hundreds of ex-NPower beneficiaries have logged on to the NEXIT portal and provided the required additional information for possible placements into the various CBN intervention options.
The ultimatum given by the NPower representatives forum to the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry lapsed on Monday, 12th April 2021. Hence, the current online protests. Some of the hashtags deployed are #PayNPowerMoney, #APCDeceivedNpower and #ImplementOurNexitPlanNow.
