We had earlier reported that the beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s N-Power scheme have started receiving their allowance since Tuesday.
However, it was observed that only November payment was settled (N30,000) for the pioneer beneficiaries – the Batch A who were recruited in 2016.

This news medium confirmed that some of the beneficiaries who are in Batch B received stipends for double months (October and November) meanwhile only November stipend was settled for Batch A Beneficiaries. The Batch A volunteers numbering thousands are being owed October stipend.

Why the government decided to pay November before October remains a riddle.

Earlier, Sadiya Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development had promised last week that beneficiaries will be settled their ‘backlogs’ (including the twelfth month) on or before 20th of December.

Dear @npower_ng @Sadiya_farouq @MBuhari, we thank you for Npower beneficiaries stipend payments. Some got the 2 months while others is still only 1 instead of 2. Also, the alert bears Nov. instead of Oct. Something is wrong! Kindly attend to this as soon as possible. It saddens.. pic.twitter.com/h699pbybZj

@Sadiya_farouq @FMHDSD Honorable Minister, The 2016 @npower_ng beneficiaries are yet to get their October stipends whereas their 2017 colleagues got both for October and November. Attend to their cries pls.
