BREAKING NEWSFG Suspended Npower Programme, Promised To Checkmate Activities



According to Npower News, the Federal Government has suspended Npower indefinitely.
The Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu announced the suspension during an interview with Television Continental News.
According to Npower News, the decision to suspend Npower was birthed by several flaws within Npower.

Dr. Betta Edu added that a government probe into how the money has been used since the Npower's inception has already kick-started.

According to Npower News, the Minister said that some Npower batch c beneficiaries are not found in their places of primary assignments yet they expect monthly stipends.

Some of the Npower batch c beneficiaries, according to the Minister, should have left Npower since 2022 but are still receiving Npower payment.

According  to the Minister “We must go back to look into Npower and understand what the problems are so we will basically suspend Npower for now until we are done with proper investigation into the utilization of fund into the Npower program.

“We want to know how many persons are basically on the Npower program right now, how many persons are owed, amount they are owed. We are totally restructuring Npower and expanding it.

“There are lots going on. We met people who are supposed to have exited the Npower program since last year and they are still on claiming that they are still teaching.

“Sometimes we contact the school or the places where they are working and the Npower batch c beneficiaries are not there. The Npower batch c beneficiaries are not working yet the Npower batch c beneficiaries keep claiming that they are being owed eight or nine months stipends.

“About 80 percent of Npower batch c beneficiaries are not working yet they are claiming salaries.”

Npower was introduced by former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to combat youth unemployment and promote social development.
