N-Power June Stipend News – Today marks 50 full days since beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s N-Power programme last received their monthly stipend of ₦30, 000 (77.42 USD), Afriupdate understands.
This online news medium gathered from several disengaged beneficiaries of the famed scheme that the last stipend they received was for the month of May, which was paid on the 1st of June 2020 upwards.
We had reported that a significant number of beneficiaries (graduate and non-graduates) groan that they were not even paid since March 2020.
Meanwhile, Farouq has been mute regarding when June stipend of the exiting N-Power beneficiaries will be settled and why it has not been cleared.
Major protest in N-Power
It would be recalled that since the famed scheme was transferred to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development from the office of the Vice-President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo in October last year, complaints of recurrent delay in stipends payment have been registered.
Afriupdate noticed that federal workers usually receive their salaries between the 25th and 30th of each month.
However, N-Power graduate beneficiaries – classified as Federal Government workers too – do not have a consistent payday.
Every month, the Federal Government spends about N15 billion as stipends on nearly 500,000 volunteers of the N-Power scheme, a component of the National Social Investment Programmes (N-SIP).
Recognised as one of the largest post-tertiary employment programmes in Africa, the Muhammadu Buhari government sees the scheme as one of its major achievements.
N-Teach is the most popular of the N-SIP, which also focuses on health, agriculture, and public finance.
