Today marks 46 full days since disengaged beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s N-Power programme last received their monthly stipend of ₦30, 000 (77.42 USD), Afriupdate reports.
This online news medium recalls that Batch A beneficiaries exited the programme on June 30 after four years in the famed scheme, while their Batch B counterparts officially made their exit on July 31st – after two years.
Meanwhile, these Nigerian youths were exited from the famed N-Power scheme by the Federal Government without being paid their stipends for the month of July. Plus, they are currently in the dark regarding their exit/transition package.
This has made many of them furious with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, the federal department overseeing Nigeria’s social investment programmes.

What about npower july stipend?
We're suffering without it— Ogunsina Oladayo (@OgunsinaOladayo) September 14, 2020
Ma'am what is happening with our July stipend, our backlogs and what is delaying your transition plan for exited npower volunteers? Don't you think you are wicked and oppressing the poor youth who are supposed to be loved by you as a mother? @Sadiya_farouq

to fix exited npowers to some areas in her ministry.
So what next are we looking at?
